Gutbucket

Gutbucket is a New York-based experimental quartet that’s been bending genres since forming in 1999. Blending avant-garde jazz, punk energy, math-rock precision, and off-kilter grooves, their sound is a wild ride of unpredictable riffs and improvisational fire. The band—featuring Ken Thomson (sax), Ty Citerman (guitar), Pat Swoboda (bass), and Adam Gold (drums)—has built a reputation for live shows that feel equal parts cerebral and unhinged. Their releases, like the politically charged *Dry Humping the American Dream* (2016) and the chaotic *Sludge Test* (2019), showcase their knack for merging social commentary with spastic, genre-melting instrumentals. Whether you call it “punk-jazz” or “noise-funk,” Gutbucket’s music is for listeners who like their artistry loud, weird, and unapologetically adventurous.
