The guys in Gaslight Anthem are too young to remember the heyday of the retro touchstones that roll around their music like vintage marbles stored in a mayonnaise jar.
HC: Hey Silly, the Star story wasn’t a review, it was a very careful tap dance. Most of it could have been written without even attending the show. Exactly where does the Star’s “critic” stick his neck and say what he did and didn’t like about the show? Nowhere, read it. Very strange. My suspicion is the 50-something critic was afraid to diss a 20-something show and look like an old fogey. McTavish delivered the goods and had the you-know-whats to call the band out.

They do not live up to the hype they have been getting. Average band at best and they sure as hell are no Social Distortion.
Look before you leap
Why wait to read KCConfidential’s review when THE STAR HAD IT UP LAST NIGHT?
