I think this may qualify as Pearl Jam related enough to post here. The new Gaslight Anthem single "45" was posted over at Rolling Stone today and the song is incredible. It's produced by Brendan O'Brien and he did an outstanding job with their sound.
Here is a link to "45": http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... 5-20120430

Looking up more info on their new record I read an in-studio feature over at Spin. The new record entitled "Handwritten" is produced by Brendan O'Brien. The sound of the new record was described by lead singer Brian Fallon as "Really big, like Tom Petty songs being played by Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters".

Reading that got me very excited for their new record and I love how these guys are huge Pearl Jam fans. Brian blogged about being obsessed with "Go, Animal and The Fixer" and wanted to include the vibe of those songs while writing songs for Handwritten. He also blogged a couple of weeks ago and mentioned that he is a 10 club member and that maybe the GA should run a fan club ticketing system similar to Pearl Jam's and call it the 11 Club. They've stated a bunch of times their desire to open for Pearl Jam. Gaslight Anthem want to play arenas, I'd love for Pearl Jam to take them there before they blow up and are headlining on their own.

What do you guys think of the song? Hear a Pearl Jam vibe?

    You're insane... These guys are fantastic. Great lyrics, great music and even better live show. If you hate them don't even bother checking out The Hold Steady or Against Me!

    Amazing Band. I have seen them two times at pops in St. Louis. They are giant pearl jam fans. Brian has stated many times that when writing the last 2 albums he was writing them to impress Bruce and Eddie.

    Last time I was at pops my buddy got kicked out of Gaslight right before they played State of Love and Trust and I missed them doing that. SOOO bummed.

    Surely, someone who likes Pearl Jam has better taste in music than your post suggests ;)

    My fav new - young - band.
    Saw them, for the first time, in Feb. 2009: AMAZING show.
    After that, saw them so many times... Milan, London, HRC...
    I really love this band.
    My dream: one day a Pearl Jam tour with The Gaslight Anthem as supporter.
    Btw, the new single is great, reminds me Tom Petty mix with Foo Fighters and, a little, Pearl Jam
    Handwritten, their new album, could be kick ass. Seriously.

    Anything..... 59 Sound and American Slang are two great Albums. I can honestly say that I like every song on both these albums....no duds. Also if you dig this, check out Horrible Crowes. They are easily my favorite new band.

    Such a shame that the first reply is what it is. Anyhow, I love their first two records and really dig the new song. Another Pearl Jam-related note: the picture accompanying the Rolling Stone article was taken by Danny Clinch. Would love to see Pearl Jam take these guys out with them on an East Coast run.
