Gaslight Anthems American Slang

 2009 was a monumental year for New Jersey band The Gaslight Anthem. The band toured the world in support of their acclaimed album ‘THE '59 SOUND’ and were featured performers at major festivals including Coachella, Rock Am Ring, Glastonbury, Pinkpop, Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds, Hyde Park Calling, Fuji Rock, Hurricane, Gurten and Roskilde.

THE '59 SOUND was named one of the best albums of the year (and, in some cases, the decade) by NME, Kerrang!, Q Magazine, VISIONS, Rock Sound and Big Cheese, and the band won the Best International Newcomer award at last year's Kerrang! Awards.

The Gaslight Anthem are now hard at work recording the follow-up to THE '59 SOUND with producer Ted Hutt at The Magic Shop in New York City. The album will be titled ‘AMERICAN SLANG’ and is set to be released in June 2010 on SideOneDummy Records, through Shock in Australia and New Zealand.
