Just over a month to go for the 2012 album I'm most excited about.

Three superb records behind them so hopefully they continue that trend, and the first single "45" fills me with confidence -

Excellent band, loved American Slang.

I loved The '59 Sound and American Slang wasn't too bad either. The new single has me pretty excited now for the new album.

I can't wait for this, I'm just gutted I missed the gig in koko last Monday because I decided to come back to dublin to watch the soccer with the lads. . .best decision ever!

Really looking forward to this. Here's a video on the making of the album as well as clips from Handwritten, Here Comes My Man and Too Much Blood.

Tickets for the Brixton gig in the bag

Haven't listened to these in a while, sounds great!

littlebows · 26-06-2012, 20:18

Love these guys, hope they come to Dublin soon!

I'll get it as I really liked American Slang, but don't you think the songs are sounding a little similar now?

I mean, I like 45 - it sounds like a GLA song - but it does use those same four chords. I'm interested to see if there's anything different in the album, or if there's something like the "Elsie" material by the Horrible Crows.

+1 .. saw them in the Olympia maybe about 18 months ago and felt this. seemed more noticeable in concert than on cd.

Prettyblack · 27-06-2012, 13:59

I'd say they are good live though! (never seen them - and would probably go if they were playing)

littlebows · 27-06-2012, 16:52

Saw them in the Olympia in 2010, they were amazing live! Noticed they have announced some UK gigs, no mention of Dublin yet.

Sarah_12 · 27-06-2012, 16:56

I didn't realise they were releasing a new album! Very exciting! I saw them play in The Academy a few years ago, i went not really knowing much of their stuff and I loved them, they are amazing live, hopefully they come again soon, that'd definitely be a gig worth investing in!

I don't think it's just 'now' that they're sounding a little similar, they always have, but for me that's one of the best things about The Gaslight Anthem. They have a fantastic knack for writing a catchy, proper rock song and they stick to it unlike a lot of other bands who chop and change. If it ain't broke etc.

I love The Horrible Crowes album but can only assume that Fallon wants to keep The Gaslight Anthem as The Gaslight Anthem, which is perfectly fine by me.

Plus, as long as they throw in the "We Did It When We Were Young" there's enough diversity to keep me happy.

Really can't wait for this album, saw them in Koko a few weeks ago, one of the best gigs I've ever been to!
