The Gaslight Anthem profiles the power of vinyl records in a new 15-minute film, Every Word Handwritten. The film, which can be viewed at RollingStone.com, focuses on the lifespan of a vinyl album and how it brings joy to all who hear and own it.

Drummer Benny Horowitz, who co-wrote and produced the short film, says that he wanted to pay tribute to vinyl albums because they played an important part in his life. "We were in London and I had this idea about the story of the record, things that would happen to it," he tells Rolling Stone. "I couldn't imagine vinyl not being in my life. I couldn't imagine walking into my living room and not seeing my records."

Gaslight Anthem is currently trekking across North America promoting the band’s major label debut album, Handwritten. Visit TheGaslightAnthem.com to see the full itinerary.
