Get Hurt (2014), American rock group The Gaslight Anthem decided to break up indefinitely. Singer and songwriter
Brian Fallon would rather not play together for a while than release mediocre material. Then, in 2023, the time came for a new album. On History Books, we also flip through the band's history book page by page, with touches of indie rock, punk rock and hard rock. The band has gotten

This type of rock, where creating a sense of belonging is almost above the band's artistry, is one of the reasons the band is often compared to Bruce Springsteen.
