No-nonsense rock ‘n roll for the Bruce Springsteen/Hold Steady crowd. This is a perfect, all-American album to play (loudly) while driving around on hot, midsummer evenings. Its gritty but polished and melodic anthems are one part post-punk for every three parts New Jersey Springsteen-esque rock. That said, the Gaslight Anthem’s got nothing on the Boss…but they’re capable of holding their own as an emerging artist. Check it out!
