GOING LIVE: The Gaslight Anthem

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM SOUND ACADEMY, TORONTO / NOVEMBER 25TH Getting intimate at the most appropriate time, THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM muscled the Edgefest Jingle Bell add-on into a cozy night full of whiskey, tears and a sense of belonging. From “Mae” to “Keepsake” to even a cover of the Misfits’ 1982 cut “Astro Zombies”, the group tinted a sold-out Sound Academy with feel-good-blues that gripped everyone by the... Read More

VIDEO: The Gaslight Anthem – “Here Comes My Man”

There may be a shortage of puck drops across North America but at least we still have Elisha Cuthbert who just so happens to play the lead in THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM’s new video for “Here Comes My Man”.

Album Reviews – 14/6/10

Drake / Thank Me Later / Universal Hip hop is hype central. If that wasn’t the case, Aubrey Graham wouldn’t be a Sprite-pushing Degrassi star with a debut cluttered with more guests than Oprah’s proposed television finale. Unlike past shooting stars, Drake’s first studio release highlights his disturbed lifestyle with effortless rhymes and a gentle rhythm and blues voice making him an artist that can swoon two birds with... Read More
