The
Gaslight Anthem –Diamond Church Street Choir/
Boxer
The Gaslight Anthem have recently released their
brand new album ‘American Slang’ and
they are not wasting much time in getting new singles
released as they have just announced that they are
a releasing ‘Boxer’ and ‘The Diamond
Church Street Choir’ as a double A side single
on the 9th August.
‘The Diamond Church Street Choir’
is one of the songs that stood out to me the most
when I first listened to ‘American Slang’
so I can easily understand why they have chose
to release it as a single, it has that classic
Gaslight Anthem feel about it and runs at such
a smooth pace where the chorus is big and catchy
and everything in-between features so much groove.
‘Boxer’ also flows at a great pace,
it is so damn catchy and so damn beautiful sounding
with Brian Fallon’s vocals sounding bigger
and better than ever, the song is about believing
in yourself and standing your ground and the lyrics
capture the whole theme in such a great theme
with lyrics of “I remember when I knew a
boxer baby, and your tattooed knuckles oh how
they grind down, try to be a man tough just like
your father, try to settle down, more like calm
down”.
This double A-side release is The Gaslight Anthem
taking yet another massive leap forward and they
will continue to do so until they have conquered
the Academy sized venues and moved on swiftly
to arenas.
5/5
