I for one am a big fan of this band.

Sink or Swim is actually my least favorite of theirs… but only by a little.
Love this band. Too bad their cover sold atrociously last year…

The piano’s been snorting coke, not me.

I freaking love this band so damn much.
Signature
I still believe in the sound
That has the power to raise a temple, and tear it down
I still believe in the need
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry

I still believe that everyone
Can find a song for every time they’ve lost, and every time they’ve won
So just remember folks we’re not just saving lives, we’re saving souls and we’re having fun.

Quite possibly the best live band i’ve ever got to see and American Slang is higher than a 7.5

So these guys are definitely one of my favourite bands. At some point I will be getting lyrics tattooed on my body, but I can’t figure out whether I should get “No retreat, no regrets” or “Stay hungry, stay free and do the best you can”

Mr. Burns is full of shit.

Really like them. I haven’t listened to the new album, so I have no opinion on that. I’m focusing on other music right now.
However, I get to see them in August, for FREE, which makes me ecstatic.

Senor and the Queen is easily their best work. Sink or Swim in a close second

Lately it seems ‘1930’ is beating out ‘Boomboxes and Dictionaries’ as my favorite Gaslight song..

Love them.
American Slang definitely took a couple listens to grow on me though. I think it’s fabulous now though.

This is just one of those bands that has always had a special place in my music collection. I play all of their releases regularly and it’s almost impossible to decide my favorite album of theirs. The world needs more bands like The Gaslight Anthem.
