On May 10th, Baltimore band GASKET announced their upcoming EP Babylon set to be released on June 21st via Blue Grape Music and to go along with the announcement, they dropped their single and music video for Syndicate. This new EP follows November 2023’s Dull the Needle, a seven song EP which only gave a taste of what this band is capable of.
"'SYNDICATE' is the most personal song on the record, and the most fast-paced. The song is about an old friend you wish you'd never met.
This EP is the hardest we've ever worked on anything together. As simple as it may sound, it's a culmination of all of our favorite bands. Lyrically, it's a melting pot of experiences and feelings we've had for the past two years that we hope people can relate to. BABYLON represents GASKET as a whole; it's our escape from reality and we couldn't be more grateful for it."
- the band shares
BABYLON is a perfectly executed and lethal mix of crusty punk, gnarly, old school hardcore, and grimy metal. Most of the tracks span under two-and-a-half minutes, but the band uses the time wisely. Every song is a like a grenade blast that you won't soon forget.
Pre-order it here on vinyl or cassette.
