The ’59 Sound

The Gaslight Anthem

Soulful punk rock that sounds like a vintage radio playing in a rusted Cadillac. A nostalgic, high-energy tribute to the ghosts of the Jersey Shore.

August 18, 2008 · SideOneDummy Records

Find on Amazon

A high-octane celebration of ghosts, memories, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.

Moments Worth Listening For
the crackle of a needle hitting a record that transitions into the explosive opening riff of Great Expectations
the haunting gang-vocal 'young boys, young girls' refrain that anchors the title track's meditation on mortality
the sudden, soulful shift into a slower tempo during Miles Davis & the Cool that feels like a smoky jazz club
