The Gaslight Anthem and Iron Man

Today I have music for you by a punk band out of New Jersey called The Gaslight Anthem. This song has a really sick vibe to it. There are elements of different kinds of rockers and rock bands in this song. I can hear subtle hints of a Springsteen-esque sound as well as a little bit of The Killers. Now this could also be the way the vocals sound. The vocals in this song have this nice gritty and rough sound to them which makes this song have a little bit more of a wild sound to it. I am actually a huge fan of a voice like this. Usually voices like this don't make it into the spotlight which is a total and complete shame because it is very unique. However, because The Gaslight Anthem does draw a lot from Bruce Springsteen, there is more light being shed on these guys. And I have to say, it is for good reason. This band doesn't have that stereotypical band feel to it. While the music is easily classified as rock, it does not follow the idea of mainstream rock. This song kind of follows the footsteps of The Killers if they were mixed with a band like Blink 182. This band has a great sense of balancing out the gravelly vocals with a melody that is more upbeat and bouncing. This song also has a great sense of a driving energy instead of a seething pot of energy. This song also draws some influence from the 50's side of rock and soul. A lot of times, these two were synonymous but nowadays there is a stark difference between the two. It is nice to hear that the two of them are coming together again even if it is just a slight mixing. This song is meant to inspire genuine interest and energy and excitement, something that music seems to lack at times these days. This song provides a very interesting twist on the idea of bringing back and old sound. They way The Gaslight Anthem does so is very spectacular. This band is able to make a song with clear inspiration from decades past but does so in a way that the song seems completely modern. This song does have the feel of punk bands from the 2000s! In my opinion, this hits home the older idea of punk and rock instead of what we hear today. This song captures the feel of real rock, a driving force that is hard to catch up with and meet. If you are a rocker of any kind, this song will sound good and right to you. It is something you will be able to gel with really well! Today's instrumental song is from the movie Iron Man. This song is just so badass as is the rest of the score. The music from all three movie is just so incredible wicked and intense. This song though comes from the first Iron Man movie, the one that really allowed Marvel to take off. This song has all the elements of suspense and intrigue that accompanies Iron Man with some of the rock and nuances of Tony Stark. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
