The Gaslight Anthem’s first album in a decade is due on October 27th.

The Gaslight Anthem have shared their latest History Books single Little Fires – ‘like the opposite end of the spectrum from the frustration you feel in History Books’, according to Brian Fallon.

“It’s an empowerment song, about refusing to play along with the kind of people who always seem to be throwing a grenade into the room for no particular reason.”




The title-track mentioned by Fallon was unveiled back in July and featured a well known long-time champion of the band:

“When Bruce Springsteen said I should write a duet for us, I think my head exploded,” Fallon added.

It will never get old to me that one of the greatest songwriters in the world, and one of my hero’s voices, will forever be captured in a song I wrote at a small wooden desk, in October, in New Jersey.
