Unkempt Herald

Unkempt Herald was formed by Dave Gurgick, Jesse Salinas, and Ronstin Smith in Bloomfield N.J. in 2013. They spent a year practicing writing and trying to hone their style. To that effort they built a studio, bought gear and set to work. Unkempt Herald created a style that is both musically diverse and lyrically thoughtful. By the summer of 2014 they released their debut E.P. “Squalidus Praeco”which was followed by their first full length album “Diatribe” which released summer of 2015. They released their second E.P. self titled “Unkempt Herald” in the summer of 2016 and finished recording their second full length album “Kegare” which released mid October 2016. With "Kegare" they have personified their style while bringing it to the next level. Thoughtful yet aggressive melodic hardcore music
