When discussing ‘Father John Misty’, Tillman paraphrases Philip Roth: ’It’s all of me and none of me, if you can’t see that, you won’t get it’. What I call it is totally arbitrary, but I like the name. You’ve got to have a name. I never got to choose mine. He goes on, “‘People who…

Gel can t be stopped. Since emerging from the New Jersey hardcore scene, the band has quickly earned a dedicated following with their instant-classic, debut full-length, Only Constant (2023), and a penchant for non-stop touring.

Since first splashing on to the Southern California circuit in the mid- aughts, Geneva Jacuzzi (née Garvin) quickly cemented herself as the queen of the Los Angeles underground.

Deep Sage, Gouge Away’s third studio album, started coming together in 2019 during sound checks and in small pockets of downtime between tours.
