Gouge Away ended their EU/UK run supporting Teenage Wrist and Angel Du$t together with IKHRAS at Oslo Hackney in London.
The Florida-based quartet released their latest LP ‘Deep Sage’ earlier this year via Deathwish, showing their classic post-hardcore sound enhanced with influences from noise rock and hardcore which created a more intense, raw and emotional ambience. Those raw emotions are even more enhanced by the band’s energetic and relentless stage performances. The roughness of Christina’s vocals accompanied by hard-hitting riffs and catchy melodies captured the attention of the crowd right away and saw them off their feet almost immediately. They raced through their set barely leaving any time for the crowd to catch their breath while they expended all their energy dancing and swinging themselves around in the pit.
Originally the show was announced being at the Garage but had been moved and turned into a matinee show to accommodate any football fans who wanted to watch the finals. While IKHRAS opened the stage and got the crowd warmed up for Gouge Away, Teenage Wrist picked up the energy where Gouge Away left it.
They brought a slightly more melodic and melancholic punk influenced sound with them giving the crowd a moment to slow down in the pit while upping the singalongs – preparing them for the final set of the evening.
With Angle Du$t taking to the stage the pit opened up right away seeing the crowd spinning and stage diving right from the start. Everyone was yelling the lyrics back at the band on the top of their lungs seemingly having the time of their lives.
It was a special time filled with energy and good music, and both the audience and bands on the stage seemed to have had an amazing afternoon.
