The Gaslight Anthem Celebrate '59 Sound with Unreleased Tracks

The Gaslight Anthem has unveiled further plans commemorating the 10th anniversary of their landmark second studio album, THE '59 SOUND. The New Jersey-based rock 'n' roll band will mark the momentous occasion with the release of THE '59 SOUND SESSIONS, a new companion to the classic LP featuring nine rare and previously unreleased songs as well an all-new 60-page booklet. THE '59 SOUND SESSIONS will be available digitally and physically as CD, LP, and Limited Deluxe Photobook LP via SideOneDummy Records on Friday, June 15.

THE '59 SOUND SESSIONS is available for pre-order now at https://lnk.to/gaslightanthemPR. The pre-order includes a Limited Deluxe Photobook LP on colored vinyl as well as Standard LP & CD, a commemorative tour poster and an exclusive tee-shirt design.

THE '59 SOUND SESSIONS is highlighted by the first-ever release of songs recorded in the months before entering the studio for THE '59 SOUND itself, among them nascent versions of album favorites like "Great Expectations," "Miles Davis & The Cool" and the milestone title track alongside such rarities as the previously-unheard "Placeholder," "Our Fathers Sons" (last heard on The Gaslight Anthem's 2011 iTUNES SESSION), and a singular cover of the folk traditional, "God's Gonna Cut You Down," made famous by artists including Odetta and Johnny Cash.

"The journey a band goes through is complex," says The Gaslight Anthem's Benny Horowitz in THE '59 SOUND SESSIONS' accompanying Photobook. "We were perpetually on the road and in a state of constant motion. I can't think of a better time to try and create the most significant thing of your life when it was the most significant time of all our lives. I'm so happy to share this moment of our existence."

As previously announced, The Gaslight Anthem will travel North America and Europe performing THE '59 SOUND in its entirety, with dates beginning May 27 and 28 at Washington, DC's legendary 9:30 Club and then traveling into mid-August. Due to popular demand, a number of new dates have been added, including two-night-stands in Boston and Asbury Park, NJ, as well as additional nights in Washington, DC, London, Köln and Toronto. Among the tour's certain highlights is an eagerly awaited performance at this year's Governors Ball Music Festival, set for New York City's Randall's Island Park on Saturday, June 2.
