The Gaslight Anthem also had a reunion last year, so probably count as a "current" band again; Springsteen is an all-time favourite for me, so their sound (which is massively indebted to the Boss) ticks all the boxes:
Brian Fallon, the singer of The Gaslight Anthem, also had a decent solo career while the band was kicking its heels...

I’m with you Ska’d: have seen HMHB more times than I care to remember and they’re always outstanding ( favourite album is still “Achtung Bono”). I’ve also seen Brian Fallon solo as well as the Gaslight Anthem, both were terrific and you’re right about the Springsteen connection- when asked who would replace him in the East Street Band, the Boss always says Brian Fallon.
