We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

New Jersey is representing this summer and no I’m not talking about the scumbags from Jersey Shore…except for J-Woww. I want to go to there.

The Gaslight Anthem, NJ’s current rock superheroes, have announced tour dates for this summer in support of their upcoming album American Slang which comes out June 15th.

The album will actually be made available for pre-sale starting tomorrow, April 27th, over at the website american-slang.com. You can head over to their Myspace page and check out the brand new single which is the album’s title track.
