Biggest mosh pit of Best Music Poll 2009? That's easy: the Gaslight Anthem's set, which had worried punks milling around City Hall four hours before showtime, like they were gonna miss a parole hearing.
Photos: Airborne Toxic Event at BMP 2009
The Airborne Toxic Event have become, for all intents and purposes, the WFNX house band.
