I've always followed the Premier League and followed Serie A forever ago, so having a Bundesliga, then 2.Bundesliga team made sense to me too.

I've been following them for a couple years now. : We’ve seen lots of pictures of you onstage lately with the flag of a certain German soccer club draped over your amps and a skull & cross bones on top of your head. I couldn't believe the size of some of the venues we were filling. I was amazed at how well it all went, actually. Rosamilia: I'd say it's about done, and that it went really well. : So how has the tour for American Slang gone so far? So for the next couple weeks I'm probably going to be pretty sedentary going to a bar to watch Premier League or Champions League games would be about it. We're taking a bit of time off, until the end of February or so. Where are you right now? On tour or at home? : Thanks for taking the time to talk to us, Alex. Not such a bad obsession to have if your occupation takes you around the world on a regular basis, is it? We caught up with Rosamilia on rare break from the road to talk soccer, touring and more soccer. And with their third collection of soul-inflected punk rock, 2010’s American Slang, keeping them busy into 2011, they seem to be in little danger of relinquishing any of their current success.įor guitarist Alex Rosamilia, life is not just about his band’s global appeal but also very much about his obsession with the global game. Since the 2008 release of their sophomore album, The ‘59 Sound, New Jersey rock outfit The Gaslight Anthem have topped critics’ charts, blogger’s playlists and live bills worldwide.
