Following the recent news of GEL's upcoming Persona EP, the ever-rising New Jersey hardcore force have confirmed they're taking those tunes and more on a fall headlining tour.
While the band are just about to hit Europe for a wave of spring club and festival dates, and likewise have a previously announced run of eastern U.S. shows supporting Fiddlehead coming up this summer, GEL will now also be taking the top spot on the marquee when they get back on the road in September
The headlining trip begins September 10th at Washington, D.C.'s Atlantis venue, and wraps up about six weeks later at the Sinclair in Boston, Massachusetts. The trip also finds GEL supported by synth-y hardcore experimentalists MSPAINT, Denver's Destiny Bond, and the Mall.
As previously announced, Persona is the first record Gel will release through Blue Grape Music (Code Orange, Spiritual Cramp). The five-song EP was teased earlier this year with the street-stomped, pinch-squeal-crazy "Mirage." Vocalist Sami Kaiser explained in a press statement that the whole release marks a more "nuanced" approach for the band, adding: "It's a step forward, it's different, it's catchy, but it still really sounds like us."
You can pre-order Revolver's exclusive "violent" colored vinyl variant of GEL's Persona — which is limited to 300 — over in our shop.
