New Gaslight Anthem Video - "The '59 Sound"
It's actually the Springsteen fans' full-performance take from the more conceptual, little kid-starring official video. Which is why they're going to town in an empty living room. Thing is, you don't need concepts with a song like this, the lyrical storytelling takes care of that. The best recorded performance might've been the one the New Brunswick, New Jersey boys gave Letterman when he shit himself in excitement, but this is an inspired, straight-up semi-mainstream rock 'n' roll anthem and it's worthwhile seeing it from another angle.
The '59 Sound is out via SideOneDummy.

I don't know about the performance-only clip. I think the one with the kid/funeral parts has a bit more a emotional element to it. Regardless, love this band! New Brunswick, NJ represent.

Oh come on. I mean, fine, but it certainly scratches a certain itch. I screamed along to this after a recent funeral for a friend. LOOK AT ALL THAT :(

What do you mean "semi"-mainstream? The crowd that eats up "Use Somebody" would love this to death. It's like the same chords.

Yeah this is really old, but more recognition for The Gaslight Anthem is always welcome. The '59 Sound is one of my favorite albums of the past few years.
