'dad rock' ('mum rock'?) and the Gaslight Anthem (article)

If you are at least as old as Brian, ie. 30 up, then this article should be for you, though that's still a bit young.

And it probably shouldn't just be 'dad rock', but 'mum rock' as well.

I'm too young for that, but it's a great article. I actually saw Delta Spirit two nights ago and they were great, and I'm seeing The Hold Steady tonight. Weird coincidence. Now if only I were seeing TGA soon...

Anyways, my dad loves TGA too, for good reason of course.

Well, my eldest son got me into Gaslight in 2008, I have since taken my youngest son and his girlfriend, and my daughter and her boy friend to 2 GA gigs, seen the band a dozen times (will be by Sunday ) . Im going to see Jesse Malin and Frank Turner in December and am due to be a Grandad in 2011 and i still make the front barrier at gigs, so guess that more than counts me in.

Great article and thanks for claiming 'mum rock' in as well ;o) can't wait to take our son to his first concert! But that's gonna take another 6-10 years I guess ....

This article is... so very true. Also makes me want to check out Delta Spirit considering the bands they're listed among there.

Delta Spirit is a quality band. They don't really sound like TGA or anything, but I thought the CCR comparison was fairly fitting. It's kind of like a folk rock/garageband mashup.

Here's a good song to check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MSS52oqKys

I agree pretty cool article....I saw Delta Spirit last year at a basement show and they were great. The singer can wail!
