It took a bit longer than expected, but The Gaslight Anthem finally has some new music for their fans. The New Jersey rockers just shared the single “Positive Charge,” marking their first release in almost a decade.
“Positive Charge” was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Katis and finds The Gaslight Anthem continuing from where they left off in 2014. The track is lyrically charged with optimism while the music carries the band’s signature sound with raging guitars and a thumping drum beat.
“‘Positive Charge’ began as a message of joy to ourselves and to our audience,” frontman Brian Fallon said of the song. “The central theme is about looking at the things you’ve come through and feeling like you want to go ahead with an open heart toward the future, believing that the best years are not behind any of us and the good we have is worth something.”
The Gaslight Anthem released their most recent album, Get Hurt, in 2014 and went on an indefinite hiatus a year later. They had sporadic live performances since then before returning to “full-time status” in March 2022.
The band is currently working on a new record and is set to embark on a tour across North America.
