Rock band Gaslight Anthem’s new single “45” took some time to grow on me. It reminds me of a lot of material from their last album, and any band should feel pressure to justify the filler phrase “Heee-eeey.” However, The chorus is killing me. I’m improving on my air-drumming and I find myself doing a lot of pointing, especially on the “see you on the flip side” part.
The music video for “45” features Gaslight Anthem fans reacting about the same, pushing up against the barricades at a show in the troupe’s home state of New Jersey. Interspersed are shots of Asbury Park and other sites around the band’s stomping grounds.
As previously reported, “45” is culled from “Handwritten,” due on July 21. The band have already set many tour dates, below.
