GEL announce new EP Persona

GEL have announced that they’ve joined the Blue Grape Music roster (Code Orange/Spiritual Cramp and more) and will be releasing a new EP, Persona, on August 16th 2024. The band will be continuing their nonstop touring schedule in 2024, with dates alongside Fiddlehead, Militarie Gun, and Have Heart, as well as upcoming festival appearances at Download, Primavera Sound and many more. Ahead of the release of Persona, Gel have shared a new music video for “Mirage”, directed by Eric Richter (Knocked Loose, Jesus Piece, Koyo).

Produced/engineered by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Jivebomb). “We really wanted to fill out the songs more and make them more nuanced,” explains vocalist Sami Kaiser. “It’s a step forward, it’s different, it’s catchy, but it still really sounds like us.” The result is a widescreen version of GEL’s urgent, stomping hardcore that only amplifies their innate ferocity.
