36 Songs To Soothe the Pain

By eMusic Editorial Staff, eMusic Contributor

Whether you're happily married or told Cupid to shove it a long time ago, we can all agree on one thing: to quote the one-and-only Nazareth, "Love hurts/ Love scars/ Love wounds/ And mars." Or something.

2008 Innovators: The Gaslight Anthem

By Matthew Fritch, eMusic Contributor

Reviewers of The '59 Sound, the Gaslight Anthem's second album, spent an awful lot of words describing what the record is like rather than what it is. It's difficult to blame them. The New Brunswick, N.J., band invites Bruce Springsteen comparisons not only by virtue of its Garden State birthright; there's also a restless, Born To Run energy coursing through singer/guitarist Brian Fallon's songs about small-town regrets and big-time dreams. The '59 Sound shoots straight… more »
