News reaches us that the Gaslight Anthem’s ‘The ’59 Sound’ has been playlisted by Radio 1. Jo Whiley will, of course, be taking credit for discovering this great band, only two albums and an EP into their career. Finger on the pulse, that lady. Kinda bittersweet for us here at ELM, who championed the band from midway through last year, to know that they are soon to be taken away from us. It’s what we wanted, honest. When we go to gigs full of screaming kids and punters who buy their records in Asda….It’ll be great.
Ah, we’re just being snobby. Here’s a terrific live version of them doing Springsteen’s ‘I’m On Fire’.
