LADYTRON @ STUBB’S
Our favorite electro-rockers Ladytron spun some tunes at Stubb’s this past Friday and our lovely correspondent Kat L. took some sweet photos. Word on the street is the show (predictably) ruled so here’s Ladytron’s new single to celebrate!
Ladytron – “Ghosts”

NEW BAND CHEER – THE GASLIGHT ANTHEMHeir to the throne of working-class punk rock by way of Against Me! with a splash of Springsteen comes The Gaslight Anthem, a New Jersey quartet with enough blue-collar sing-a-longs in their grimy back pockets to make a room of 9-to-5 stiffs pump their fists in time. Having recently garnered praise from Spin Magazine for their new EP Senor and the Queen the band is putting in some time on the Warped Tour and spinning around Europe before their sophomore LP The ‘59 Sound drops August 19th.

Seriously, this is a band with a devoted following for a real reason. I haven’t found a punk rock sound this year with this much heart and soul; lead singer Brian Fallon grizzled and heartbroken voice couldn’t sound more gut-wrenching if he tried. How many times have I said the word heart in this section? I dunno but this band’s got a lot of it. Check them out NOW if you like punk rock or hey, music in general. Also, be sure and buy their ‘59 Sound 7” when it drops July 22 via SideOneDummy. Heck buy their excellent debut LP Sink or Swim, just get into them soon people before they’re touring your nearby stadium.

The Gaslight Anthem – “I Coulda Been A Contender”
