GEL

GEL are a four-piece hardcore punk band from New Jersey that began in 2018. Following a demo, EP, and promo tape, GEL put out Violent Closure in February 2021, which has easily become on of my favourite hardcore releases this year. In its ten-minute runtime, the band knocks out seven tracks of noisy, feedback-laden and distorted punk with unbridled ferocity and raw conviction. To put it simply, this is fucking incredible stuff, and Violent Closure will definitely be blowing out many speakers to come. Enjoy.
