Formed in 2006, The Gaslight Anthem is a rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. The catchy, upbeat sounds and vivid lyrical imagery of their second full-length album, The ‘59 Sound’ brought the band much-deserved success.
Consisting of Brian Fallon (lead vocals), Alex Rosamilia (lead guitar), Alex Levine (bass guitar), and Benny Horowitz (drums), the band released five full-length albums. The Gaslight Anthem embraces many elements of the Jersey Shore sound, and Brian Fallon lists fellow New Jersey rock star Bruce Springsteen as a significant influence on their music.
The Gaslight Anthem is part of a rich tradition of New Jersey punk, spanning the Misfits to the Bouncing Souls.
