Gaslight Anthem Quotes:
"We all kind of work it out. There's like the basic structures and I'll come in with a song and everybody else turns it into what it becomes... There's a lot of ideas we talk about outside of the practice room and then when we go in there, it just kind of happens. So we don't have to ever talk. It's weird."
-Brian Fallon

"Dude, we totally ripped Bruce off. We actually live pretty close to where he lives, and uh, every once in a while he'll show up in these random bars, and we've met him before. He's like the raddest dude in the world. He's totally normal and not weird at all."
-Brian Fallon

"Blue Collared Soul."
-Brian Fallon, asked to describe their "sound and vibe" in three words.
