GOUGE AWAY - Demo 2013

Gouge Away was a Washington, DC band that broke up in October 2014, when member Greg moved to Philadelphia, PA. Their music demonstrates the wide range of Punk that all the members enjoy. The songs off the demo are more Melodic while the later songs tended to incorporate more Aggressive riffs. The band started because Greg was trying to write songs that were different from what he would normally write. The whole thing came together because Brian (drummer on the demo), Stephen and Greg were living together.

SECOND GUESS - The Greatest Hits

Second Guess started in 2011 as a project to make heavy and fast Hardcore in the vein of classic Punk and Rock And Roll. The band started during the years in which I (Ben) slowly lost my ability to walk to a Neurological condition called Freidreich's Ataxia (FA). Intially it was just two brothers with no intention of putting on a show, but our friend Zach (who made our tapes) liked it so much he later joined in on bass. We have since, by some miracle, pulled off a handful of lie shows. We're slowly working on a 10" that is worth the wait if you like the demo.

Any publicity this band receives will go to raising money and awareness for FA which currently has no treatment.

All purchases on our Bandcamp are directly donated to curefa.org and we put together a Comp (CureFA Benefit Compilation)showcasing some of our favorite bands and hometown heroes. If anything, we hope people enjoy the music and aid the battle with FA.

Genre: Punk/Hardcore
FFO: Tear It Up, Outbreak
Members: Ben, Buck & Zach
