GEL have just signed with Blue Grape Music (home to
the likes of Code Orange and Spiritual Cramp) for their next chapter as a band.

The hardcore breakout stars are set to build on the incredible momentum of
last year’s 5/5-rated debut album Only Constant with a new five-track EP entitled Persona,
which is due out on August 16.

The record includes new single Mirage (listen below) and is described by
vocalist Sami Kaiser as “a step forward” for GEL: “We really wanted to fill out the songs more and make them more
nuanced,” Sami shares. “It’s a step forward, it’s different, it’s catchy, but
it still really sounds like us.”

“I feel like Only Constant was the cap on us doing that style of
hardcore and I didn’t want to do more of the same,” agrees guitarist Anthony
Webster. “But I also feel like at this point we just have more of a sense of
what a GEL song is and we wanted to apply that to a different kind of
songwriting.”
