Coming out of Worcester, Massachusetts, an exciting new rock outfit called GUT HEALTH has made an explosive entrance. Formed by current and previous members of Ian Sweet, HERRA TERRA, Gloss Goddess, Not Bad Not Well, Cope and usLights, as GUT HEALTH, they serve up their own style of biting alternative rock music.
Initially coming from an idea back in 2017, it was the pandemic that provided the catalyst for this new endeavour to take shape. Now they’re a fully-fledged band, armed with their own material with the group looking to their influences of guitar-driven music from the 90s to craft their sound.
Linking up with Jon Markson on mixing duty, who’s previous credits include working with the likes of Drug Church, Soul Blind, DRAIN and KOYO, GUT HEALTH have created their first EP titled EP1. Featuring drums performed by David Haik of Pianos Become The Teeth and United Nations, the upcoming EP promises to deliver the full scope of their first sonic chapter.
Ahead of the EP, they bring us the first taste of their sound with the debut single titled “RUNAWAY HIGH.” With their first single, they lay down a raucous alternative rock sound to deliver a potent punch of the GUT HEALTH style.
Launching straight in with an uptempo alternative rock onslaught packed with layers of crunching guitars, punching drums and intense vocal leads, the band are quick to offer a high octane dose of gritty rock music. With the chorus, they capture a moody grunge aesthetic before dropping things down with a half time outro where energy gives way to melody.
It’s a sensational artistic statement from a thrilling new band who make a worthy impact on their first outing. With their first EP on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what else GUT HEALTH has in store as their share more of their sonic vision.
