Gaslight Anthem To Begin Work On New Album in January

According to Brian Fallon’s blog, New Jersey’s The Gaslight Anthem will begin working on a new album this January. He explained:

Dire Straits… best band no body talks about. When we start writing our new record, which should be around the 1st of the year or so, I’m thinking of really taking Dire Straits and the blues much more seriously. I think there’s been a lack in blues music’s updating for the last few years. There was Jack White, which was cool, but I think I’d like to hear blues songs with chorus’s. That might be my new goal. Which kinda reminds me that Mark Knopfler was a genius and people don’t say that enough. If you’re looking for some new music this year, I suggest you check out his new record. It’s called Get Lucky. I love it. And also check out “On Every Street, So Far Away, and Romeo and Juliette” by Dire Straits.

The band released their third album, American Slang, earlier this year on SideOneDummy Records.
