A little over a year after the excellent, Burnt Sugar, Florida post hardcore band, Gouge Away, return with new EP, Consider b/w Wave of Mutilation, incoming March 20th, 2020 through Deathwish Inc. Notably, 25% of the profits from the sales will be donated to the International Rescue Committee.
The pretty fierce first cut, Consider, is a commentary on blind nationalism and patriotism in today’s society, and channels a lot of the dynamism of the Gouge Away’s rightfully acclaimed previous album, while on the other side, in parallel to the band’s name, they once again refer to Pixies, this time with a cover of Wave Of Mutilation.
The EP was recorded with Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden, and its release coincides with the band’s very extensive tour supporting Circa Survive.
