Once such a great band. But they have really lost their way.

I really think they should just take a break, regroup, and then get back to their original sound...

Great guys, but their music is just so....boring now...

What am I missing here....is this good? Weren't they on Victory or something years ago? I have never understood these guys and would get them confused with Riverboat Gamblers from time to time.

I still do. I clicked the link and it took me a few minutes to realize that it wasnt the Gamblers

Once Navel Gazing gets here I'm not going to shut up about how awesome the Gaslight Anthem show in San Antonio was.
Srsly.

Are you prepared for the haiku battle?

mikexdude (September 28, 2008)

They were better in Richmond!

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Truth.

i dunno, river city has been one of the few bands i can think of to put a big tweak on their sound and have it work out really well. keepsake of luck was amazing and i've got pretty high hopes for this new record too.

I saw gaslight anthem last in San Antoniio. The opening acts (pioneers, polar bear club) did not really do it for me, but the TGA show was amazing. They played almost everything, except for "Wherefore art thou Elvis", and "Navasink banks"

and...I am somewhat depressed that it seems they will not be playing "We're getting a divorce, you keep the diner" anymore, which is one of my favorite songs.

I didn't get into the 59 sound as much as Sink or Swim until I saw this show. Every song off of 59 sound sounds WAY better live. Especially "back seat" that shit gave me chills. Now I hear the songs with a whole new appreciation. The studio recording was just too clean or something.

Anyways, sorry to River City Rebels for completely ignoring the fact that this is their post. And I invite the obligatory "Why does everyone always post about

Polar Bear Club > Gaslight Anthem

I went there.

baldsteve (September 28, 2008)

I can't wait to punch you in the nose for that.

deadelectromix (September 28, 2008)

I didn't like Polar Bear Club at all, sounded like they listened to WAY too much Strike Anywhere (from what I remember). I have a soft spot for OP!!! though, and Eric's a super nice guy.

Super nice.

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Eric hearts u.

mikexdude (September 28, 2008)

Strike Anywhere? Try again.

deadelectromix (September 28, 2008)

Yeah, I was wrong.
They sound really generic though, I just can't put my finger on it.

wolfshirt (September 28, 2008)

i dunno, savage garden has been one of the few bands i can think of to put a big tweak on their sound and have it work out really well. truly madly deeply was amazing and i've got pretty high hopes for this new record too.

I'd like to take a moment to just say how great Maroon 5 are. Between the emotion, the lyrics and the authenticity, they really are saving punk rock. If more of you were as stoked for the Maroon 4 as HWM, maybe you'd be a guido like me too.

wonton (September 28, 2008)

i see what you did there

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

It's like the same wording and everything.

hobojew (September 28, 2008)

New rule: No one say anything about the River City Rebels if you think Hate To Be Loved was their last album.

Anyway, saw Dan and Brandon when they were touring and doing acoustic stuff. Very awesome, and totally friendly. Even got them to play the first half of Hate before he forgot the words.

cort (September 28, 2008)

they have been slowly changing since religion, racism, and war. almost all of there stuff including that cd are pretty bad now that ive gotten older. i have to say, im starting to get into there newer stuff.

14theroad (September 28, 2008)

I often confuse their name with the Murder City Devils.

DiscoFucker (September 28, 2008)

Fuck yeah. I am really excited for this new record. The rebels are one of the few bands that have consistently matured and grown from record to record. It has been so much fun watching them grow, and this tour is gonna be amazing.

manincognito (September 28, 2008)

i love this band so much and if they come back to canada, let them play nothing from their shitty glam-rock album.

IRuinEverything (September 28, 2008)

I've been a huge fan of the band since Racism, Religion and War which, at the time, I thought was the greatest CD in the world.

Now that I'm older, I can hardly tolerate that CD but their new sound is completely amazing. They continue to mature their sound as they get older. Keepsake of Luck is one of the most underrated albums I can recall and I'm stoked for this new album.

RRR (September 28, 2008)

Too bad The Rubber City Rebels arent making a new album.

BigSnuff (September 29, 2008)

I once knew a girl that lost her virginity to/got fucked in the ass by the drummer.
