New Jersey punk band, The Gaslight Anthem, has shared the music video for their song “1,000 Years” off of their latest album, “Get Hurt”, which you can check out below. The video captures the band live in concert at Minneapolis’ legendary First Avenue music club (you know, the one where Purple Rain took place) and features plenty of close-up shots of their enraptured audience. It’s nothing remarkable, but it fits in well with the band’s unflashy, grounded aesthetic.1,000 Years” is the third music video to be released from Get Hurt, following “Rollin’ and Tumblin’” and the album’s title track. Get Hurt was released in Aug. and was the Gaslight Anthem’s fifth studio album overall, their first since 2012’s “Handwritten“. A B-sides compilation, appropriately titled “The B-Sides“, was also released earlier this year.
“I was trying to do something very different with the record,” frontman Brian Fallon said about Get Hurt in an interview with Red Bull, “So I was trying to see what was out there as far as what we hadn’t done before. It wasn’t really like a specific direction I was looking for, the only real direction was what kinds of directions were untraveled by us: humanity, life, daily life…We don’t really think, we just write and it is what it is.”Get Hurt was The Gaslight Anthem’s first album with British producer Mike Crossey, who’s most famous for working with the Arctic Monkeys. “He is open to sound and experimenting and no idea is off the table,” drummer Benny Horowitz said about Crossey. “If you have an idea, he’ll try it, see how it sounds, and maybe even put it in…He uses technology in a very organic way
