Gimmick "s/t" 7"

The Quarantine cassette from 2020 ripped, and now they’re back with their debut vinyl! While Gimmick’s snotty, noisy chaos recalls 80s greats like Sick Pleasure, they don’t sound like a retro band, just a group of young punks sipping from the same cocktail of frustration, anxiety, and hormones that have powered so many loud and fast bands across punk’s history. Through a perfectly gritty recording, Gimmick delivers an eleven-minute burst of bile, climaxing with the closing “Grease Trap,” whose riff sounds like Kurt Cobain grew up seeing bands like Gag and Glue in seedy basements.
