Official press release:
New Jersey's finest, Gel, recently announced their highly anticipated debut full-length, Only Constant, and today they're sharing its second single and accompanying, "Honed Blade." Due out March 31st from Convulse Records, the album is a 16 minute blast of ferocious hardcore that proves exactly why Gel have become one of the most exciting new bands in the genre.
"Honed Blade" follows lead single "Attainable" which has already garnered the band attention from the likes of NPR, Stereogum, NME, Revolver Magazine, BrooklynVegan, and more. The song opens Only Constant and offers a perfect example of Gel's magic trick: making unrelentingly aggressive hardcore that's somehow instantly accessible.

Post CommentNew single "most cops are bastards except when they're helping us white people in a New Jersey hard core band" out now
Sonny Singh here, I made this band famous, my jerk bled to their music
Can we not turn this into a Turnstile thread? The Danny Diablo jokes were way better and totally 100% original
There last single simply titled "Mike.g0o was right" was a good track I trust this band
Fat NJHC big titty goth b*t he's here we love this band and don't go near the pit
Why is sonny constantly posting awful female fronted bands 24/7 now
I would pay to watch the singer for gel and the singer for scowl carpet munch each other
THE REAL DANNY DIABLO HERE, TURNSTILE, MY MANAGER, AND I REALLY THINK THIS BAND IS THE NEW LIFE BLOOD OF HARDCORE. PLEASE STOP MAKING FUN OF THEM AND ME FOR NEEDING TO GET RIDES TO ALL OUR SHOWS THANK YOU
What are the odds of these guys getting to stadium/arena levels and possibly earning a gold record or grammy? How much did management pay for this great press?
"Gel's magic trick: making unrelentingly aggressive hardcore that's somehow instantly accessible" They cracked the code. Perfect match for an opening slot on an arena tour which will translate into fans of the older and younger generation. I smell a grammy nod later in the year
More this. Less Militaire Gun. Or Spiritual Cramp, I'm tired of listening to pretentious white dudes.
I keep waking up covered in this weird goo... I'm not worried it's probably nuttin
wish this band would play Syracuse the Mecca of hardcore
anonymous 10 minutes ago Why is sonny constantly posting awful female fronted bands 24/7 now Because its the PC thing to do. Even though the band is f*cking terrible we need to be force fed this shit and they get headline after headline. It all started when they gave the kids that came in last place trophies 12 years ago. Now this shit.
Does anyone ever actually read the articles or do they just go to the comments and inject their uneducated opinions?
This just in Rick tocchet, Rick ta lyfe's burner account thinks participation trophies are what's ruined America even though he's the human equivalent of one. More on this on tucker Carlson tonight
Does anyone ever actually read the articles or do they just go to the comments and inject their uneducated opinions? I'm from Utica so I can't read, use this to make your best call on what the rest of them are doing
Does anyone ever actually read the articles or do they just go to the comments and inject their uneducated opinions? -you don't need a college education to know this band/song sucks and is only getting attention because it's female fronted.
Just an observation but the 2 obese dudes in the band have bigger tits than the chicks. We have come full circle in human evolution. Pray for a meteor. ASAP.
Where's Todd Jones been? Haven't heard from him in a while...
Is this the band that can't play, or that other band?
This just in Rick tocchet, Rick ta lyfe's burner account thinks participation trophies are what's ruined America even though he's the human equivalent of one. More on this on tucker Carlson tonight Lol. Accurate.
This is hardcore man where the men have huge tits and the women are built like 16 year olds get over it
"This just in Rick tocchet, Rick ta lyfe's burner account thinks participation trophies are what's ruined America even though he's the human equivalent of one. More on this on tucker Carlson tonight" LMAO LOCK THE THREAD THIS THE ONE
I was educated in the New Jersey public school system. So why dont you tell your liberal friends over in Dirty Jerz "Thank You" for the endless entertainment of good ole Rick____tocchet's Gold Standard posting abilities.
Todd Jones here coming out of the freezer to say this band rules but you'll never be one of us
Momentum here just wanna say we'll f you up at any show this beef ain't over GEL FSU THEY/THEM ALL DAY
"The singer sat on my face once" I need her to fart on my face
"The singer sat on my face once" I need her to fart on my face ^ A man of culture
That they/them pusnis does hit different though…don't knock it til ya try it
Didn't even bother listening to it all female fronted bands sound the same no originality and no breakdowns. Pass
Joe Hardcore here, just done with my driver's ed class for the day, just wanted to say these guys will be playing TIHC along with my bestie AJ and his band Facewreck
I love Hoax but we didn't need all these one word punk bands that sound like a cheap rip of Hoax. Not even dime a dozen more like half a penny
How far away are we from Falling in Reverse playing TIHC?
How far away are we from Falling in Reverse playing TIHC? Probably not that far honestly. I heard Keith in Hell was going to assist putting TIHC on this year so it will probably get mysteriously "cancelled" before the fest even happens
Does anyone ever actually read the articles or do they just go to the comments and inject their uneducated opinions? ^^^^^ I only read articles about Mike-Goo.
"Does anyone ever actually read the articles or do they just go to the comments and inject their uneducated opinions?" ^Whoa easy buddy, everyone knows you read the headline ONLY before commenting. Amateur.
^^^^ you also forgot shirtless dudes on top of each other... those were the best of times. No cl*t in the pit!!!
^^^^ you also forgot shirtless dudes on top of each other... those were the best of times. No cl*t in the pit!!! ^ "No cl*t in the pit!" is money on a t-shirt waiting to happen
Gel is garbage. NJHC is a joke. No active bands from before 2017 left. Shackled & Raw Life are the only 2010s NJHC bands left.
Peak NJ bands- Arson, No Hollywood ending, Transgression, LWL, Bigwig, Bedlightforblueeyes,crash romeo
a perfect example of Gel's magic trick: making unrelentingly aggressive hardcore that's somehow instantly accessible.
"Is this the band that can't play, or that other band?" Your thinking of Scowl or Momentum or any of the other hype bands from California that are so laughably bad that they take this bands success personally
This is 100x times better than anything Momentum has done and will ever do. Drop out of hardcore and join the marines already pussy.
I brought up momentum more than once because I know their pussy ass lead singer is in here talkin shit and that dude has skin thinner than tissue paper. Your band sucks. This they/themcore band shits all over your tough guy posturing. Cry about it on Twitter.
Does anyone ever actually read the articles or do they just go to the comments and inject their uneducated opinions? Sorry I haven't gotten my liberal art degree...can't read
If we bring enough traffic to the site maybe we can get lurk enrolled in night school so he can learn to spellcheck these articles.
this the band that cant play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5KcG6fzbgc
her stage presence sucks. people not even born in 90s but try to jock scene are stoked
Booking the "Lilith fair of hardcore 2023"....only female or transgender fronted hardcore bands.
Am I the only one who thinks Gel's vocalist looks like Buffalo Bill from The Silence Of The Lambs?
Holy f uc k she kinda does lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bill_(character)
I brought up momentum more than once because I know their pussy ass lead singer is in here talkin shit and that dude has skin thinner than tissue paper. Your band sucks. This they/themcore band shits all over your tough guy posturing. Cry about it on Twitter. It is funny that Gel absolutely suck but can outdraw Momentum anywhere including Momentum's hometown.
All near future members of the sheetrockers association
Dino here! I actually dig this band. Catchy tunes, and cool peeps from what I hear. But 16 minute albums? 15 minute sets? C'mon people, those are rookie numbers. Ya gotta step your game up if you wanna reach Fear Factory levels of respectability! But you're young, I get it - you got time to grow. Kinda like how a certain part of me grows every time I think about that Lolly Dames scene I saw last week. If you know, you know - what a woman! Come check out our new vocalist on tour - seeya on the road! 🤘🏿
