The Gaslight Anthem's third album reveals a remarkably powerful rock 'n' roll outfit honed by two years of nearly non-stop touring. Singer/guitarist Brian Fallon's passionate lyrical approach has grown more personal and introspective, his raw throated vocals stronger and more resonant against the band's pulse-pounding dynamic force. American Slang is the battle cry of a great band finding its own voice and using it to shout to the rooftops and beyond.
