Gouge Away Biography
Forming in South Florida with the intention to record an EP and play one show, Gouge Away were driven by the need to write music they weren’t hearing in their local scene. A couple years later, they put out “, Dies” on local label, Eighty-Sixed Records, which they didn't expect to reach beyond their hometown. After some touring, they released “Burnt Sugar” on Deathwish Inc. which took a more personal approach when Christina Michelle was dealing with her mom’s heart complications. Following the release of the album, they toured throughout the US and beyond, sharing the stage with bands like Drug Church, Ceremony, Touche Amore, Paint it Black, Soul Glo, and many others.
While on tour and in their small pockets of downtime, they demoed songs for a third album, pulling influence not only from the nostalgia of the bands they grew up listening to, but developing and pushing the sense of urgency, noise, and introspective lyrics they felt most represented them.
Touring came to a halt in 2020, canceling a full year of plans in an instant. Gouge Away took time to focus on their personal lives. On New Years Eve just beginning 2022, they decided it was time to revisit their demoed material.
They recorded with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden East in March 2023, completely analog to tape and almost entirely live. The goal was to sound like five friends playing music in a room together, unpolished and far from being over-produced, which is what the heart of Gouge Away has always been.
