The Gaslight Anthem has gone from basements in their hometown of New Brunswick, NJ to one of underground music's most celebrated acts in barely over a year, through tours with Against Me!, The Loved Ones and The Bouncing Souls, bringing a sound that reconciles the band's love for classic rock and soul icons such as Bruce Springsteen, Otis Redding and Tom Petty with their New Jersey punk roots to create a unique musical amalgam that transcends genres and stereotypes.
