    Gaslight is probably in my top three favorite active bands with PJ and Modest Mouse. They're awesome live (as is Modest Mouse). Looking forward to their new CD.

    I checked a few of Gaslight's tracks out on youtube and I have to say there is nothing these guys do that blows me away. While I appreciate their influences, this does not necessarily make for a good record. Brendan O'Brien produces some real garbage, so that is certainly not a selling point (Korn or Bizkit anyone?). However; I get that Brendan has to pay the bills somehow. There are tons of rock bands releasing good records these days that at least deliver some originality...the men, total control, alabama shakes, and spiritualized are just a few that immediately come to mind.

    I hope that Pearl Jam continues to push the boundaries of who they decide to collaborate with and/or tour with. I just don't think Gaslight or even Kings of Leon for that matter challenge the common PJ fan to the level that I expect. Then again, I'm certain my opinion is pretty low on their list of priorities!

    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.
    How about PJ21 Alpine Valley. :D:D:D

    ...great band!!!

    they "opened" for Pearl Jam at London Hyde Park Calling two years ago, and I also saw them live at the tiny Oxford O2 Academy - where they did a brilliant cover of State of Love and Trust :D

    I have not really listened to them before but really like this single! Any recommendations if I am looking to download some previous stuff from them?

    As another poster commented the Gaslight Anthem's previous records are really strong and you'd be hard pressed to find a bad song on them. "The 59 Sound" is an incredible album and new fans are going to love hearing an album that good from a band they had previously never heard of or are only vaguely familiar with. Here are a few of my favorites - A few off each record-

    From Sink or Swim- "I'da Called You Woody, Joe", "Drive", "Red At Night"
    From 59 Sound- "Great Expectations", "The 59 Sound", "Old White Lincoln", "High Lonesome", "Film Noir", "Here's Looking At You Kid", "The Backseat", "Meet My By The River's Edge"
    From American Slang- "American Slang", "Stay Lucky", "Bring It On", "The Queen Of Lower Chelsea", "Boxer", "Old Haunts"

    Full disclosure, I had a hard time not listing every song on The 59 Sound- It really is that good. Also, they do some amazing covers including a fantastic "State Of Love and Trust" and a not-quite-Pearl Jam-great-but-still-stellar version of Baba O'Riley.

    POP POP!

    The Danny Clinch connection is awesome. As someone mentioned, Brian has a sideband called The Horrible Crowes and I just picked up their RSD 7" and the picture on the cover was shot by Danny. The HC 7 inch for "Lady Killer" also has a cover that was shot by DC. Seems as though they keep pretty good company.
