Gaslight Anthem Announce NYC Release Show And North American Tour Dates

The pre-order for The Gaslight Anthem's much-anticipated third album, "American Slang," kicked off earlier this week on AMERICAN-SLANG.com. "American Slang" is slated for release on June 15 in the US and Canada (and around the world that same week) on SideOneDummy Records. Produced by Ted Hutt (who produced the band's acclaimed second album, "The '59 Sound"), "American Slang" heralds a dramatic leap forward for the New Jersey-based band. Tracks such as "Bring It On," "Orphans" and "Stay Lucky" bristle and burn with the spirit of soul and the artistic adventurousness and confidence of a band that has come into its own and truly found its own voice.

Fans of The Gaslight Anthem will have the opportunity to purchase "American Slang" in multiple formats via AMERICAN-SLANG.com, which will also offer exclusive colored vinyl and other very limited edition merchandise. "American Slang" will be available as a featured pre-order on iTunes as well. The iTunes pre-order features two additional bonus songs: a new track, "She Loves You," and an acoustic version of "American Slang."

The Gaslight Anthem is also pleased to announce that they will performing in New York City to mark their US album release on Tuesday, June 15, at Irving Plaza. Special guest will be Tim Barry (Avail). Tickets for this show will go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 30, at 10 a.m. EST. The band has also announced their first run of US and Canada shows.
