Now in the moment, I started listening to the new album. But so far, it sounds very good!

Never heard anything by these guys before. What album should I start with? What kind of sound do they have?

they are pretty famous because they are somewhat of a punk band, sort of punk influenced rock music punk influenced indie. But they are from new jersey, hugely influenced by bruce. You can tell immediately when the lead singer sings. And they have built a reputation for writing similar style songs to bruce. About cars, women, youth, not wasting life, seizing the day etc... Very anthemic music. Bruce is a major fan, i think his son introduced him to the band, and bruce has invited them on stage several times. So basically if bruce fronted a punk band.

their breakthrough album is 59 Sound

I'd go with '59 Sound as well.

Too Much Blood seems to be along the same lines as Blood by PJ. Probably my favorite after 3 listens.

Can't wait for my copy to arrive, I am really hoping for Monday!

Wooo glad to see the pj community is getting behind GLA. Especially since they are HUGE PJ fans!!!

I first got into them hearing american slang. After really loving that album, I got 59 sound which is AMAZING!! Recently got sink or swim which is much more punk based, much more raw, but still excellent.

Been killing NPRs sight listening to the new album non stop the last couple of days. I thought "45" was one of the most perfect songs when released, but man this entire album is just soo great. If they do not blow up after this, then rock music is really dead, as this thing is soo good.

Hanwritten - love the lead guitar part in the chorus.
Hear comes my man - love the bridge and end chorus.
Mulholland Drive - fantastic outro solo
Keepsake - another good rocker
Too much blood - soundgardesque
Howl - 2 mins of rock and roll
Biloxi parish - love the guitar work
Desire - another great rocker, great hooks
Mae - maybe the best song on the record great lyrics
National Anthem - great quite closer

If you have not listened to this band, give them a chance, they rock!

Really hoping they give the new album some play at the Webster Hall show Tuesday.

I mean it is the album release day...

I never thought a band would take Alice in Chains' spot as my #2, but these guys have done it. Seen them twice now, and will be seeing them a 3rd in September....and I'm deeply in love. Phenomenal. REALLY stoked for "Handwritten"..

I did a piece on their DC show Friday night. My review of their new record will be published hopefully later today.

Tix are sold

Long shot, but I know my fellow Jammers are worth a try!

I really wanted to go to the TGA Glasgow O2 Academy show in October. Work commitments were stacked against me, but suddenly all tumbled down, but too late, as the show has now sold out!!

Don't suppose anyone has spares, or knows of anyone/anywhere still selling tickets?

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks.

Keepsake is really growing on me

I can definitely hear a lot of pearl jam in keepsake. Prob my favourite album of this year
