The Gaslight Anthem- 'The Queen Of Lower Chelsea'
No one paints a picture quite like The Gaslight Anthem. Their music is clean and simple, while their lyrics are rich with memorable characters and a real sense of time and place. Yes, it is a well known fact that the band, particularly front man Brian Fallon, is a big fan of Bruce Springsteen, which shows through in their style. But their is enough endearing personality behind the songs and honest emotion that it's easy to forgive them for wearing their influences on their sleeves. 'The Queen Of Lower Chelsea' from latest album 'American Slang' is typical GA fair in theme, but in construction, with its swelling dynamics and a contradictary minor tone and uplifting feel, is certainly one of the highlights of the album.
