Gag is a hardcore punk band emerging from the depths of Olympia, Washington, known for their abrasive sound, relentless energy, and darkly comedic approach to music. Forming around the mid-2010s, they have carved out a space for themselves in the punk scene with their ferocious live performances and unapologetically raw productions. Their sonic imprint is characterized by thrashing guitars, pummeling drums, and vocals that teeter between a growl and a shout, all soaked in a lo-fi aesthetic that complements the band's garage punk ethos.
Gag has steadily released a slew of projects that have cemented their reputation as underground harbingers of chaos. With titles such as "Still Laughing," "Killing for Both Realities 3 '92," and "America's Greatest Hits," they draw on themes of disillusionment and the sardonic interrogation of American culture. Their material often incorporates a satirical edge, reflecting their critique of society through a hardcore lens. Tracks like "Intro/Squeeze" and "Jennifer" offer up quick bursts of aggressive punk that is as confrontational as it is cathartic, showcasing Gag's ability to distill punk's rebellious spirit into a modern and potent musical expression. Their intriguingly titled "High off Gun Powder" and "Минутные сентименты" (Russian for "Minute Sentiments") further display the band's penchant for blending raw power with unexpected twists, keeping their sound fresh and unpredictable in the punk landscape.
