Gulch

Gulch is not the artist behind the song "Monkey Gone to Heaven"; that track is by the alternative rock band Pixies, released on their 1989 album "Doolittle". However, Gulch is a hardcore punk band known for its ferocious blend of metal, punk, and hardcore elements, creating a distinctive sound in the modern hardcore scene. Emerging from California's Bay Area, the band quickly garnered attention for its raw and unapologetic approach to extreme music, combined with a visceral live presence that has captivated audiences across the nation.

The band’s reputation for aggressive sonic assaults was further solidified with their full-length album, "Impenetrable Cerebral Fortress," released in 2020. This album proved to be a significant point in Gulch's career, showcasing their ability to fuse blistering speeds, crushing riffs, and a menacing atmosphere, which has resonated widely among fans of hardcore punk and crossover thrash. Alongside other releases like the "Gulch/Sunami Split" also released in 2020, and their explosive "2019 Promo Cassette," Gulch has demonstrated a consistent output of high-octane and uncompromising hardcore music that has made a substantial impact within the underground music community. Though they may have seemingly short, sharp shocks of songs, within each is an intricate layering of influential sounds that have helped to redefine the parameters of the punk and hardcore genres.
