That 59 Sound?

[hitormiss92]

Are there any bands/albums with a sound similar to the Gaslight Anthem's 59 sound? I love the music and vocals on that album, but I'm not a big fan of artists with scratchy or gruff vocals- cleaner is better

The Sidekicks and Let Me Run are probably your best bets. The Menzingers are great too, but I'm not sure if you'd be into the vocals based on what you said.

The Loved Ones and Tiger Army.

well 59 sound references a lot of springsteen

bruce springsteen - born to run/born in the usa
against me - all
alkaline trio - goddamnit
counting crows - august and everything after (their song 'round here' is homaged in the song 'high and lonesome'
the clash - london calling
the ramones
chuck ragan - feast or famine

Social Distortion? The vocals are on the gruff side, but the mix of punk/country/blues/etc. is similar to Gaslight.
Try the album "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell" if you're new to the band.
