Video You Need To Know: The Gaslight Anthem, 'American Slang'
It's hot outside. I know, I know. Captain Obvious, reporting for duty. But one thing that's always good for a cooldown is some really good, roll-your-windows-down rock. And that's exactly what we've got here with The Gaslight Anthem's new video, "American Slang."

The Gaslight Anthem excels at making punked-up Springsteen-leaning rock, with crashing guitars, huuuuge choruses and introspective, nostalgic lyrics.

This video, directed by Kevin Custer, pretty much sums up Gaslight's aesthetic: hats, tats and rock and roll. It's comprised largely of black-and-white images of the group making their way around New York City, interspersed with some performance footage of the the Jersey band rocking out on stage.
