New Jersey heroes The Gaslight Anthem release their new single (taken from their critically acclaimed album ‘The '59 Sound’), ‘The Backseat’ on September 21st, via digital download.

This year has been a monumental one for The Gaslight Anthem, during which they toured the world performing their dynamic brand of soul-infused rock, culminating in being joined by “The Boss” on stage at both Glastonbury and Hard Rock Calling. The band has graced the cover of Kerrang! and Rock Sound, had major features in Q Magazine and The Guardian as well as performing special sessions on Radio 1 and XFM, and on David Letterman and Conan O’Brien. The Gaslight Anthem also picked up the award for ‘Best International Newcomer’ at the Kerrang! awards.


The Gaslight Anthem will head back into the studio towards the end of this year to start recording the follow up to ‘The ’59 Sound’. Stay tuned for much more news soon….
