The Gaslight Anthem goes back to Roots (Interview with Brian)

from all the previews and the early singles...the songs off Handwritten sound nothing like Sink or Swim....so how are they going back to their roots?

i noticed they haven't been playing much off american slang at the last few online streams...very sad imo.

I think it's just an attempt to appease the older fans before Handwritten comes out like they said before about it being a thank you. But I bet it'll be featured more once the album comes out. If not I'm bringing signs with song requests. First one will be Bring it On. That needs to get back in the set list. Like yesterday.

i really like American Slang. I wouldn't use the word, "fizzled", and did Brian really move to NY because he "anticipated superstardom" that just sounds kinda cocky
