Gaslight Anthem guitarist Alex Rosamilia on the Cure, European tours, and Handwritten
New Jersey rockers the Gaslight Anthem frequently gets tagged with comparisons to the Garden State’s most notable son, Bruce Springsteen. The quartet’s sound draws from any number of influences: punk, rock and hints of folk. After a string of releases on indie SideOne Dummy, the Gaslight Anthem releases its major-label debut, Handwritten, on Mercury Records later this month. The group plays the Bottleneck this Thursday, July 12, with opener Dave Hause. Guitarist Alex Rosamilia spoke with The Pitch by phone from the band’s bus about the new album and where his signature guitar tone comes from.
