They're criminally underrated. The hardcore vibe is alive and well

[@VintageBalderdash]

I’m stoked to see them touring the world and playing big festivals, but I’m stimming waiting for them to come back to Jersey. I’ll still travel Tristate for them, they’re worth it.

[@dougthealligator]

Gel has to be one of my favorite bands out there right now, it’s nice that they’re such cool people.

[@joels5722]

Dang nabbit I love GEL

[@alfielucero7538]

Please keep up the good work Gel. As a 47 year “old head”, growing up on hardcore and punk rock, this is truly amazing to see the fire is still alive out there. We used to book shows from a magazine called “book your own f’n life” it had all the phone number to bars in the US that would let bands play. Your music and live show is awesome! Once again keep it up!

[@iamtyrod]

GEL fucking rules!

[@KMKimo]

Amazing people and amazing music

[@landonlakes4782]

Sami rules

[@DigitalBath306]

3:30 damn i love them narrow head AND title fight, my fav bands

[@sic_six_icks]

Just found this band a month ago and I cant wait to see them!

[@elliecochrane3340]

I used to watch this channel all the time when I was 13 yrs old and emo I’m so happy I found this

[@digitaltourbus]

Welcome back!

[@ericderami]

GEL is awesome!! I am still excited that I got to see them a few weeks ago! I am a vocalist and was thrilled to meet Sami.

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

Vocalist, is that just a fancy word meaning you sing?

[@ericderami]

@@JSTNtheWZRD yup, sure is a fancy word aint it! Just a fancy word! You can tell all of your family tonight that you met a Fancy Vocalist on the internets today!

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

@@ericderami coolsville. Let's do karaoke 🎤✌

[@yellowsaurus4895]

​@@JSTNtheWZRD idk if you noticed but there's generally not a lot of "singing" in hardcore, hence why the different terms are used

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

@@yellowsaurus4895 I look at death metal growlers like opera singers in some kind of theater of the absurd, like how the cabararet Voltaire was in Germany before the war. I look at the men on guitars and drums like a sort of compact orchestra - especially when Deicide used to utilize the same patterns in music as early Gershwin and turn of the century art nouveau mentality. So I started to listen to metal like classical in the 90s because I was into classical and jazz, and it just made sense. Especially with the compact orchestras in the many theaters of the absurd and salons in Paris etc. Like avant garde, though, rather than straight singing or straight traditional orchestra...... I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else ? I'm a bit strange musically. Grew up with alot of influence in different genres and they crossed wires into a weird aesthetic.🙂

[@ForbiddenSpells]

This is so cool lol, absolutely love GEL. I can’t wait to see them sometime. The new record seems like a banger so far, hype for that too

[@SavageImprint]

Just watched a live set here on youtube, first time ever hearing of this band and I'm definitely gonna delve into them more deeply. Nice people that sound savage as absolute hell! haha

[@chrisrice963]

Couldn't ask for nice folks.. Beautiful souls.. They, themselves and their parents should be proud

[@JohnDoe-wy7py]

[@daniellee9763]

I met Sami and Anthony outside a show last week and they were both super sweet

[@Aiur]

GEL absolutely rules, csnt wait to see you guys in NY

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Had tickets to tonight's show at the 7th St. Entry in Minneapolis but couldn't go at the last minute. So bummed. I'll see you all next time around for sure.

[@user-zm9ox3de3l]

Finally saw them for the first time the other day in Berkeley! Such an awesome band. One of my favorites for sure!

Grew up with Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Angry Samoans, Descendants, etc. just my opinion but Gel is the best I’ve heard from the genre in decades.

[@Qwoap]

[@johnran6015]

I miss when punk bands were angry dysfunctional people who were in perpetually bad moods

[@RamManNo1]

The internet/social media has watered down everything. There is no “underground” anymore. It’s kind of a blessing and a curse thing.

[@premsitphuranaphan6762]

They are being honest if they happy thay act happy better than those fucker acting angry just for a "punk" look

[@mrcheezle3910]

But they’re so cute

[@giorgiogirardi4661]

The ones who usually die young. I don't really miss that behavior, in fact I find it refreshing the new generation generally seems more mature at various aspects.

[@user-zm9ox3de3l]

Ok old man. I’d much rather see people do well AND be happy. Oooh time for your nap.

[@brentmartinez5037]

If Sammy rides shotgun I’d be down to do all the driving for free! Just putting that out there Sammy.
