Gouge Away

Gouge Away are kind of like Florida, the place singer Christina Michelle was born: it smolders and swelters, there is death, plus the odd tropical storm. And periodically, something sharp snaps at your ankles. Certainly, the group’s formidable, feverish post-hardcore/shoegaze hybrid reflects likewise aggravating situations. Rock music that’s dangerous, tough and resourceful, creating an art form out of the act of winging it.
