I love TGA. I found them the same way I found DMB, and have seen them play live a few times, and they really are awesome. Springsteen holds them in high regard, and I think for good reason. Fallon knows what he wants to say with his songs and he does it so well in my opinion.

Also, Fallon is a massive Joe Strummer fan ( 'I'da called you Woody, Joe' and a Strummer tattoo) so he kinda goes up a little in my book anyway.

Dancing Ants · 01-31-2010, 05:38 PM

I'm glad to hear the new record won't have so many references to other songs. It's good in their old stuff, but I think Fallon realizes it'd get old if they kept doing it.

First song sounds great! Can't wait for some tourdates.

Pig17 · 03-23-2010, 04:57 PM

Not as powerful as anything on The 59'-Sound, but still good nonetheless.

moosicmaniac · 04-20-2010, 05:13 AM

A heads up to you all, American Slang has leaked.

indiegod · 04-20-2010, 05:39 AM

And it is fantastic...although, I am a bit biased. I sat next to Brian in middle school French class. Cool guy.

words cannot explain my jealousy

MPizzle06 · 04-20-2010, 07:51 AM

I can't compare it to '59 yet just due to the limited amount of spins, but it is definitely great. Picked up right where they left off IMO

mja271 · 04-20-2010, 08:45 AM

Yea its very much in the vain of The '59 Sound. Really good stuff. Diamond Church Street Choir, Queen of Lower Chelsea, and Old Haunt are tight as hell.

mja271 · 04-30-2010, 10:00 PM

After giving this album a lot of listens lately, I have come to the conclusion that it is awesome. Another winner for Gaslight.

Dancing Ants · 04-30-2010, 10:12 PM

Dude that new one is a stinker. Boxer is embarassing.

mja271 · 04-30-2010, 10:15 PM

to each his own, but i really disagree. not as good as their other two, but i think it's good stuff.

Dancing Ants · 04-30-2010, 10:15 PM

Title track and Old Haunts are the only tracks I think succeed.

I love Old Haunts, but I actually think the title track is probably the worst song on the album. It's funny how different people's tastes in music can be. Again, to each his own.

s0628711 · 05-02-2010, 08:24 AM

Tour dates! See y'all June 15 for the Album release party!

s0628711 · 05-14-2010, 01:32 PM

Well, I never got those album release tickets, but I did land a ticket to the show announced yesterday at The Stone Pony on August 5th. Hell yes.

mja271 · 05-14-2010, 02:45 PM

I still really like American Slang. I think its a very strong album

Did you download the leak? I haven't heard the new album yet.

mja271 · 05-14-2010, 03:20 PM

Si senor. I'm on my senior week now, but I can send you a link in a few days when I get back. It dint hit me as hard as The 59 Sound initially, but it has grown on me big tim

macaronihead · 05-14-2010, 07:43 PM

this band is, well, freaking awesome, for lack of better words.

TrippingKyle · 06-20-2010, 10:49 AM

Every time I put on "The '59 Sound", the album just sounds better and better. Listening to it right now. I hope this band sticks around for a long time. I would love to see them live. I bet they really put on an energetic show

Can't wait to see them for the first time in August.

DJGeneral · 06-20-2010, 01:00 PM

Did they recently perform on Jimmy Fallon? I liked what I heard.

samiota · 08-05-2010, 04:50 PM

i was lucky enough to see them at irving plaza and they were AMAZING. i have tix to the radio city show too. brian fallon really gets into it. and they're friends with the bouncing souls (another awesome jersey punk band).

senor and the queen is superb as well. odd enough, i don't have their first cd (yet)
