Girl Gordon

Formed in 2022, Girl Gordon is a four-piece DIY punk and indie rock band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. As transplants from the American musical centers of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Providence, Hannah Blanchette, Jerika Hayes, Cory Linman, and Patrick Mitchell inject Ohio’s DIY punk with a host of backgrounds and influences to craft a sound diverged from the Midwest’s punk history. Girl Gordon merges powerful lyricism and melody with classic punk guitar, unwavering drums, wiry bass and guitar riffs, and a hint of feedback and noise. Although traces of post-punk, hardcore, grunge, emo, and indie pop emerge throughout their songwriting, Girl Gordon has a mind of its own, a tendency to resist settling into one style for too long. It’s this restlessness that will keep everyone on high alert, never entirely sure what’s coming next.
