HereWe Go Magic is a five-piece band made up of members Luke Temple, Kristina Lieberson,<br />
Michael Bloch, Jennifer Turner, and Peter Hale. They originally came together in New York in<br />
early 2009 through a series of chance encounters, overheard conversations and supernatural<br />
occurrences.<br />
From disparate musical backgrounds, the five found immediate common inspiration in a<br />
collection of unique 4-track recordings created by lead singer Luke Temple. These recordings<br />
were released in February, 2009 as the self-titled HereWe Go Magic (Western Vinyl).<br />
Since this initial spark the band’s creative momentum has been unwavering. Together they have<br />
developed a broad array of musical material and honed an explosive live sound all their own.<br />
They spent much of 2009 on successive North American and European tours with bands such<br />
Department of Eagles, Grizzly Bear, and theWalkmen, before retreating to a house near East<br />
Branch, NY to record their second full length LP.<br />
Pigeons, set for release on Secretly Canadian in late Spring 2010, was produced and recorded<br />
by Here We Go Magic over four months in the late Summer and Fall of 2009. The band plans<br />
extensive touring in conjunction with its release.<br />

The Gaslight Anthem’s third album reveals a remarkably powerful rock ‘n’ roll outfit honed by two years<br />
of nearly non-stop touring. Singer/guitarist Fallon’s passionate lyrical approach has grown more personal<br />
and introspective, his raw throated vocals stronger and more resonant against the band’s pulse-pounding<br />
dynamic force. The album burns with the spirit of soul, the energy of punk, and the artistic ambition of any<br />
hall of famer you’d care to name. AMERICAN SLANG is the battle cry of a great band finding its own voice<br />
and using it to shout to the rooftops and beyond. The Gaslight Anthem hit the road hard in 2008 and never<br />
looked back. After two straight years of touring supporting the release of their break-through album THE<br />
’59 SOUND, the band returned home in November 2009 and took a well-earned month off before getting<br />
back to work. For AMERICAN SLANG The band was determined to be true to their influences while not<br />
being defined by them. Where in the past The Gaslight Anthem may have seemed overly reverential to<br />
its inspirations, the goal here was to stake a claim for the band’s own individuality. “We had to figure out,<br />
what are we doing?” says Fallon. “What do we have to say? What makes us different than everybody<br />
else? So with this one, we worked really hard, to find out what we’re made of.” AMERICAN SLANG turns<br />
up the dial on the band’s love of soul and classic rock, while still flying the flag of its hardcore roots. Songs<br />
such as “Bring It On” and “Orphans” provide the exhilarating answer to Fallon’s musical question, what<br />
if the Rolling Stones played with breakneck energy of Stiff Little Fingers? The stirring title track, with its<br />
mordant acknowledgement of “when it was over/I woke up alone,” served as a kind of songwriting mission<br />
statement for Fallon. Though his lyrics remain populated with finely etched characterizations the overall<br />
focus is more self-directed and concise. “I was hiding a lot of things in imagery before,” Fallon says, “I was<br />
using pictures and distractions to get my point across. This one was more about just telling it how it is.<br />
Being like, ‘Look, I’m gonna let you in on this. This is my world and what I deal with.’” With its astonishing<br />
range and undeniable urgency, AMERICAN SLANG is The Gaslight Anthem laying it all on the line, giving<br />
it all they had to give. Achieving their dreams only served to fuel The Gaslight Anthem’s already limitless<br />
ambition, driving the band to test their mettle as artists and as men. “It gave us the opportunity to get to see<br />
what we were made of,” Fallon says. “Not a lot of people get that. It’s like, do we belong here or is there<br />
somebody better? We’ll see what happens. To us, we did our best and that’s the thing that really matters.”<br />
