Formed in 2006, The Gaslight Anthem is a rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. The catchy, upbeat sounds and vivid lyrical imagery of their second full-length album, The ‘59 Sound’ brought the band much-deserved success.

Consisting of Brian Fallon (lead vocals), Alex Rosamilia (lead guitar), Alex Levine (bass guitar), and Benny Horowitz (drums), the band released five full-length albums. The Gaslight Anthem embraces many elements of the Jersey Shore sound, and Brian Fallon lists fellow New Jersey rock star Bruce Springsteen as a significant influence on their music.

The Gaslight Anthem is part of a rich tradition of New Jersey punk, spanning the Misfits to the Bouncing Souls.

After the release of their fifth album, Get Hurt, the band took an indefinite hiatus in 2015. On January 3, 2018, the band announced that they would play a string of shows to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their album The 59' Sound, but would not be releasing or producing any new work. However, the band ultimately released The ‘59 Sound Sessions that same year, which features rare and unreleased tracks.

Brian Fallon later confirmed that the band members have gone their own separate ways, saying: “I feel it’s a lot like The Replacements. There’s no new music because that’s all Paul [Westerberg] and the band has to say. When the book is over, it’s over.”
