The Gaslight Anthem: Album Details and Tour Dates

A ton of cool news just came from The Gaslight Anthem camp and with Handwritten coming out on July 24 and a jam-packed tour schedule, the summer's looking busy! The boys unveiled the snazzy throwback artwork for Handwritten, as well as the 11-song tracklisting (detailed below). Although this will be their fourth full length, it's their first major label release since signing to Mercury Records and the label's logo compliments the classic aesthetic of the cover perfectly. Along with the new album info, they also released a sizable chunk of show dates covering the whole summer. Thankfully there's a Nashville date tucked away in there and you can bet this portly fanboy will be there with bells on. I love that they're returning to Mercy Lounge, the same venue I saw them at in October of 2009. I'm ready for another glorious night of killer songs and I'm already planning to wake up pretty hoarse the next morning. While we wait for July 24 to get here, you can still get "45," the first single from Handwritten, from iTunes and other digital retailers now.
