The Gaslight Anthem: State of Love and Trust


Ok ok. This band isn't the greatest. They sound like a cross between Allister and The Dropkick Murphys. Fine. I'll admit it- I kind of like these guys' sound. But that's not what this post is about. We're not going to talk about the skeleton in the closet that is my love for pop punk with nostalgic lyrics and sing-along choruses. We're going to talk about Pearl Jam.

Why? you ask. Well, because this New Jersey band has been covering Pearl Jam's classic track State of Love and Trust. They did it on Letterman (see the mp3) and in Milan (where, amazingly- the entire crown in the pub seemed to know all the lyrics. Pretty cool for a song that doesn't appear on any of their albums. Check that one out on the video)

So, you may love these guys, and you may hate them- but we can all agree that they do a pretty rocking cover of State of Love and Trust.
