Gucked Up by Guck

For fans of YHWH Nailgun, Chat Pile, hardcore punk energy in strange packaging, and a noisy aesthetic sensibility to meet a noisy moment, Gucked Up by Guck crafts a mosaic of heavy music to vent an extreme level of frustration. Riffs which could easily fit into the metallic-tinged hardcore of the 90s coexist with more contemporary elements of dissonance bordering on pure noise, forming a unique sound which nonetheless feels familiar. Alongside these impressively tight instrumentals runs an absolutely unhinged vocal performance, capturing the full range of screams, shouts, whispers, and whines that accompany our emotional negativity. Where classic hardcore gives a sense of movement, of action, Guck instead thwarts our desire for progress towards an impenetrable emotional wall, one which rapidly ascends to atonal noise and vocal mayhem at the mere suggestion of our success. Still, we move forward, never losing our outraged energy even as our environment seems intelligently designed to whisk the winds away from our sails at just the most infuriating moment.
