there’s always that one band who records acoustic renditions of their songs, but never puts together a proper album or collection of said songs. the gaslight anthem, particularly brian fallon, has never been one to shy away from the acoustic guitar and the somber voice approach to the gaslight anthem’s four-release discography. thankfully, i was there to pick up the pieces along the way and hoard these 17 acoustic songs over the years. last night, i got a little inspired to create some solid artwork (let’s face it, that shit looks awesome) and put together a neat mixtape/comp for all you gaslight fans out there. oh and for the record, the script font on the cover is called “jersey stories!” it couldn’t be more perfect if i tried. tracklisting below the jump. share with all your friends, start a campfire, bust out the whiskey and have a grand old time.
edit: i took note of the tweet from brian/TGA’s camp. on one hand, i want to respect the band’s wishes. on the other, i’ve supported this band by buying tickets to their shows, copies of their albums and merch. this compilation is strictly for shits, giggles and bootleg collections. i’m not making any money off of it. i’ll take it down if the label contacts us directly, but until then, enjoy the post.

*the navesink banks, miles davis and the cool and we came to dance aren’t the best quality, but they are the only versions out there. i messed with the EQ as much as i could, but i’m no audio expert, so it’ll do.
WEWOREMASKS IS DEAD. 
seriously don’t know why more people don’t leave comments to tell ya’ll how fucking amazing your posts are. been following forever, and everytime a comp drops like this (that you piece together), i’m convinced that panda/grizzly/sun need more fucking love!

thanks for shittin’ on the party, guy. if he has a real problem with it, the label will ask us to take it down. for now, we’re just huge fans of his acoustic work (that’s very easy to find online) who put em together for people to enjoy. hope you had fun scrolling down his twitter account to get the link. you just seem like a super awesome, swell, all around fun-loving dude. i’m sure i’ve got you pegged, right?

helllll no. we (sunbear and i) established that someone who likes rock music and doesn’t like the gaslight anthem cannot be trusted. plus, dudes shit on 90% on whatever you’re listening to that has guitars in it.
