So, it's not like this one is up there in contention for album of the year or anything, but I've barely heard a peep about these guys, and their debut album is really quite good. So in an attempt to bring a bit of attention to a very under-appreciated band, The Gaslight Anthem is the next installment of "brilliant albums". They are a band who wears their influences on their sleeves for sure... think something like Bruce Springsteen going a bit punk. Throw in some Lucero and some Billy Bragg doing Woody Guthrie on Mermaid Avenue and you have an idea what The Gaslight Anthem is about. Good stuff, I urge you to check them out.
And they're playing the Marquis Theater on October 13. Of course, that has to be the same night that White Rabbits are playing the Larimer, but if there's a chance for me to catch both sets... (haha, incidentally Lucero is at the Fox Theatre on the very same night - too many choices!!!).
