{"product_id":"gaslight-anthem-59-sound","title":"The '59 Sound CD","description":"For all their nods to things vintage (the record's title, previous album artwork, the sound of a needle dropping on vinyl at the beginning of \u003ci\u003eGreat Expectations,\u003c\/i\u003e etc.), New Jersey's Gaslight Anthem have a clearly contemporary sound.  Where peer bands like Nothington and Against Me have slightly punkier sounds, Gaslight Anthem walk the middle of the road, comfortably, in high-top sneakers, with straight-ahead drum pummeling and guitars that riff and clang but never really rage or scowl.  Their songs have passion and punch, and the stories are told in lustrous detail with a kind of scrappy bravado.  The title track starts things off with a high-energy outburst, guitars somewhere between Joe Strummer and Tom Petty, Brian Fallon's raspy voice bidding farewell (in a well-worn American pop tradition) to a sweetheart dying in a car crash ... yes, on a Saturday night.  Sounds cliché, but it works.  Throughout, a traditional, pop soulfulness pulsates, as if the Gaslight guys somehow grew up listening to 1960's AM radio, where the Box Tops would brilliantly seque into Sam Cook.  The '59 Sound is a great soundtrack to a late summer night, or for cruising a highway without a destination; its confessional tones of uncertainty, yearning, and youth is deeply satisfying. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: August 19, 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Side One Dummy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 603967135824\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Gaslight Anthem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772211201,"sku":"The Gaslight Anthem (4)","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/The_Gaslight_Anthem_The_59_Sound_CD.png?v=1741196404","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/gaslight-anthem-59-sound","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
