GASP

**GASP** is a Los Angeles-based indie rock duo known for their raw, emotionally charged sound and DIY ethos. Formed in 2018 by vocalist/guitarist Mia Voss and drummer Jake Torres, the pair cut their teeth playing sweaty house shows and underground venues, quickly earning a reputation for their cathartic live performances. Their music blends gritty punk energy with dream-pop textures, a vibe echoed in tracks like *Your Lie Is The Perfect Thing About You* and *Egg White & Sugar*, which balance snarling guitar riffs with vulnerable, poetic lyrics about love, betrayal, and existential angst.

Since their 2020 debut EP *Static Bloom*, GASP has honed a sound that feels both scrappy and meticulously crafted, as heard in recent releases like *Paper Ring* and *War You Choose to Love Me but You Know I Will Die*. Their lyrics often dissect relationship turbulence and self-discovery with unflinching honesty, delivered through Voss’s signature mix of melodic grit and conversational urgency. While they’ve evolved from their lo-fi beginnings, GASP remains rooted in the intimate, confrontational spirit that first defined them.
