Gaslight Anthem's New B-Side Is No Petty Cover. Okay, It Is.

-
With their amazing new single 45 seeing release in its namesake format, we finally get to check out its B-side, which happens to be a rugged but faithful cover of Tom Petty's 1982 hit You Got Lucky. Fans will be pleased to know that, in addition to its presence on the 45 single, You Got Lucky will be included as one of three bonus tracks on the deluxe edition of Handwritten.

No word on whether or not bonus track Sliver is a cover of the Nirvana tune, but as we get closer to release date that sort of information always... shall we say, leaks out.

Have a listen to You Got Lucky:



Handwritten is The Gaslight Anthem's major label debut, coming July 24 on Mercury.

Long before we get to that point, however, we're treated to some of the band's most interesting material to date. The album starts with current single Soft Offering (for the Oft Suff...

As it turns out, something I said on this blog earlier this year had a little more resonance than I anticipated. From my January 15th article " What Are The Chances? ", where I gave a percentage chance for certain artists releasing a new album in 2013: 1% NINE INCH NAILS We know that Trent Reznor is gearing up to release How To Destroy Angels' debut. We also know that there's an Interscope-released Nine Inch Nails greatest hits collection being targeted for 2014, for which Reznor promises two new Nine Inch Nails songs. But, we also know Reznor likes to fuck with his fans and absolutely loved fucking with Interscope. What better way to do that than to bring out a brand new Nine Inch Nails record? What better way indeed? Surprise: A new #NIN album is finished, coming later this year on @ columbiarecords : tmblr.co/ZW-7vsm2kw_u #NIN2013 — Nine Inch Nails (@nineinchnails) May 28, 2013 Bravo, Mr. Reznor. I love it when a plan comes together. More on...
