ROCKSOUND (UK) July 2009 issue

TGA AP
ALTERNATIVE PRESS May 2009 issue

The Gaslight Anthem’s second album was not only an essential document of punk rock soul but a record that will endure long into the future.
- NME (UK) “2008 Albums of the Year” feature

We’ve had this longstanding rule that no live band sounds good on TV. And then we saw NJ’s Gaslight Anthem on Letterman and concluded that either a) our rule was wrong, b) they are, in fact, the band of our generation, or c) some combination thereof. Absolutely breathtaking.
- ROLLING STONE

These songs are simple, mostly, but they're executed perfectly. Fallon and guitarist Alex Rosamilia do this thing, mostly on the quiet bits, where their guitars wrap twinkly harmonies around each other, getting loose and intricate without being showy about it. And when the guitars turn into chorus-firepower, it just kills because it's been so long since we've heard anyone pull that off with such panache. If you've got even a tiny bit of a soft spot for that bruised-growl retro-punk, THE ’59 SOUND is an answer to a prayer.
- PITCHFORK

Because they are destined for greatness, and because this album means they’ve already achieved it.
- EMUSIC, naming THE '59 SOUND the "Best Album of 2008"

…one of the most exhilarating records of the year…
- THE AV CLUB blog

This year’s Hold Steady, The Gaslight Anthem…prove to be masters of blue-collar anthems…impossibly exciting.
– Q MAGAZINE (UK) “Top Albums of 2008”

It's that air of tragedy that makes "The '59 Sound" seem like more than a simple rock barn-burner: When Brian Fallon sings, "Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night," he captures the way a summer night behind the wheel can positively burst with youthful abandon, ever-present danger and fragile promise. With almost overpowering intensity, the song does exactly the same.
- NPR "All Things Considered" Song of the Day (June 23, 2009)

...this New Jersey quartet manage to sound like no one but themselves. Their second album is heady and, frankly, brilliant stuff.
-CLASSIC ROCK (UK) "Top Albums of 2008" feature

…let me recommend an album that needs to be part of your summer rotation: The '59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem…With numerous references to the glory of youth, summer, and California, the album is bursting with energy, emotion and gripping lyrics. It takes you on a journey back to adolescence and is written with maturity and confidence. You won't find any fluff here.
- OC WEEKLY

The band’s sophomore full-length, The ’59 Sound, is a 12 song streak of soul influenced cinematic punk, with each piece revolving around a plot steeped in the Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty school of songwriting.
— OUTBURN

THE ’59 SOUND is the kind of record that labels fight over, other bands salivate over, and fans of Hot Water Music and Otis Redding get righteously stoked over.
– ALTERNATIVE PRESS

Gaslight transcends a rote re-telling of past musical generations… their music feels urgent and important, new but speaking a language we all still very much want to understand and believe in.
- DENVER POST

THE ’59 SOUND is an album which further develops the distinctive sound which sets the Gaslight Anthem apart...It is an album which is consistently excellent from a band which has yet to record a poor track…The result is an outstanding second album from a band who are still growing, improving, and taking control of the direction they take their music, and based on the quality of this album, they will have no shortage of followers.
- PUNKNEWS

(The Gaslight Anthem) packs rich, lustrous songwriting into taut punk arrangements. Its casually observed storytelling, overflowing with detail, seethes with a cool desperation reminiscent of Mr. Springsteen in the late ’70s.
- THE NEW YORK TIMES

The Gaslight Anthem seems set for impending rock 'n' roll stardom. Magazine covers? Check. Sold-out headlining concerts? Check. Overwhelming positive critical reaction? Check.
- ASBURY PARK PRESS

It’s an album that makes you want to run away into the darkness, to give up everything you have for a life of uncertainty and late night melancholy, for unending American highways and a sad lifetime chasing love through the backstreets of a dead-end, run-down town. Simply incredible.
— ALOUD.COM (UK)

...this is what music is all about. I left wishing that I knew how to play guitar and dying for more. If you don’t know these guys, get to know them and if you haven’t seen them live, make a plan.
- CLINK MUSIC MAGAZINE (UK)

Over the last three months, The Gaslight Anthem have quite deservedly blown up in the world of rock ‘n’ roll following the release of their second full-length album THE ’59 SOUND; the critical reception to their E Street punk chops has been eulogistic, the quartet have been in every magazine…and their shamelessly romantic sound has been seducing more fans than ever before…While virtually every other band in the world has a natural inclination to reach for the sky, these guys have the intelligence to know that such an ascension would take them further away from the street-soul and underdog spirit that makes THE ’59 SOUND so special, so resonant and so necessary.

Dudes the court tavern is in danger of being shut down!!


Dear Friends and Court Tavern Family,
Once again I am in the position of writing an extremely difficult letter. We have 24 hours to raise $20,000 or we may be forced to close. I know that times are tough and it is the holiday season but it's not impossible, 4 people to lend us $5,000 ea. - 10 people/$2000 ea. - 20 people/$1,000ea - 40 people/$500ea. and so forth. Here's why: We owe @ $26,000 in back property tax and water and sewer to the city of New Brunswick. A friend of ours knew we needed help and offered it based on the fact that he was selling his house and asked how much we needed. Bobby told him $20,000 or so. He said he could help us out provided his closing went through on Friday, which it did. Today he came in with $5,000, apparently all he could do. Bobby was under the impression that he could lend us the bulk of it. Now we are really screwed. We must pay the entire amount by 4:00 tomorrow ( Tues. 12/15 ) or it will go to tax sale. If it goes to tax sale the mortgage company will start foreclosure proceedings. Commercial mortgages are different that residential and the only way to stop it would be to file bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court will take over the business and liquidate it. The end of the Court Tavern. Bobby and I and Cassius have sacrificed so much of our family time and money over the years just trying to stay afloat. Everytime we are ready to throw in the towel , someone will come along and tell them how much the Court means to them so we keep on going. Tony Shanahan is in the process of organizing a benefit concert for us at the state theater in March. We thought we had it covered, borrow the money from our friend, pay the taxes, in March pay him back and have some extra cash to get caught up on some other stuff. Not going to happen. If you can help at all please call my cell phone at 732-887-1
