The Gaslight Anthem are emerging from a nearly decade-long recording hiatus on October 27 with the release of their sixth album, History Books. Bruce Springsteen joins them on the tittle track, which you can hear right now.
“When Bruce Springsteen said I should write a duet for us, I think my head exploded,” Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon says in a statement. “It will never get old to me that one of the greatest songwriters in the world, and one of my hero’s voices, will forever be captured in a...

Heart-on-their-sleeve rockers the Gaslight Anthem reunited last year and launched their first tour in four years. Now they’re dropping new music: “Positive Charge” is the New Jersey group’s first new song in nine years. And as its title suggests, it’s electrifying.
Opening with a stomping drumbeat and a skronky guitar lick, the track’s dissonant attack is at odds with the optimistic message of the lyrics. “I wanna live, I wanna love you a little longer,” singer Brian Fallon declares. “How I’ve missed you/and feeling good to be alive.

The Brooklyn indie duo Tanlines are back with a new song, “Outer Banks,” which will appear on their first album in eight years, The Big Mess. The album arrives May 19 via Merge.
“Outer Banks” is a booming track that guitarist/vocalist Eric Emm said in a statement is “about being a perfectionist,” and trying to shake off the idea of that being a compliment. “I’ve come to realize it’s actually a liability,” Emm added. “This is especially true in any kind of partnership. Making concessions, adjustments and letting...

As Brian Fallon approached his 40th birthday last January, he was thinking long and hard about what type of music was going to define the second half of his artistic life. “Hitting 40, you take stock: ‘How much time do I got left?'” he says, calling from his home in New Jersey, where he’s been holed up in quarantine with his wife and kids.
Two years earlier, Fallon had reunited his Jersey-rock band Gaslight Anthem for a successful string of shows celebrating the 10th anniversary of their breakout album...

Brian Fallon smokes his last cigarette in the new song “21 Days.” The latest track released off his upcoming third solo album, Local Honey, it chronicles the New Jersey songwriter’s attempt to kick nicotine and casts the drug as a long-lost friend or lover.
“I miss you most in the morning/we used to talk over coffee,” he writes and sings. “Now I’m gonna have to find another friend.” It’s a seemingly mundane topic — at least to those who never tried to quit smoking — but Fallon, the singer...

Death Cab for Cutie pay tribute to three children who died 20 years ago in a freak explosion on “Kids in ’99,” a sweet and somber song off their upcoming release, The Blue Ep, out September 6th.
On June 10th, 1999, a gas pipeline operated by the Olympic Pipeline Company exploded in Bellingham, Washington’s Whatcom Falls Park, injuring eight people and killing three children, aged 10 to 18, who were fishing and playing in the area.

Kurt Vile played an amiable version of his track “Loading Zones” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The track mixes pealing guitars — the lead part sounded more than a little like Neil Young circa Weld — with cheerfully inscrutable lyrics. “Sure, they knighted me yesterday/ But who needs armor when I have an exoskeleton?” Vile and his other guitarist ended the performance by trading intertwining licks while the crowd nodded along.
“Loading Zones” was released as the lead single from Vile’s Bottle It In album in August and is one of Rolling...

Kurt Vile will release a new solo album, Bottle It In, on October 12th via Matador Records. He previewed the 13-track LP with “Bassackwards,” a nearly 10-minute exploration of meditative acoustic fingerpicking, reversed psychedelic guitars and existential lyrics.
“I was on the beach, but I was thinking about the bay,” the indie-rocker sings over a simple folk riff and steady rhythm section. “Got to the bay, but by then I was far away/ I was on the ground but looking straight into the sun/ But the sun went down and...
