The Gaslight Anthem new single and festival dates

Hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey, The Gaslight Anthem's anthemic tales of life, loss, family, heartbreak and youth have captured the imagination and hearts of fans and media everywhere. THE '59 SOUND was hailed as one of the albums of 2008, with Kerrang! putting the band on the cover before ever having written a word about them, NME calling THE '59 SOUND "one of the best albums of 2008" and other immensely positive press coming from the likes of Q Magazine, Rock Sound, Big Cheese, Classic Rock, Clash, The Guardian and The Sun as well as from influential American magazines Rolling Stone, SPIN and Alternative Press.

Numerous spins on Radio One, Xfm and 6Music have contributed to this band's meteoric and well-deserved success, and special BBC Radio One (with Zane Lowe) and XFM in-studio sessions aired recently.

The Gaslight Anthem's latest single 'Great Expectations' off their critically acclaimed sophomore album, 'THE '59 SOUND' is released on SideOneDummy records on March 23rd. This track was recently added to the Radio 1 upfront playlist. The band will also be playing numerous festivals across the world following their storming run of headline dates in the UK including a critically acclaimed NME Awards show at Shepherds Bush Empire.
