Ninties grunge, revivalist trio G.U.S.H., have dropped their debut single and music video for the track “I Hate Myself.” If you miss the heyday of MTV, the soundscape of Seattle, and alternative music in general, G.U.S.H. are the band you need to pay attention to.
Regarding the album’s heavy themes and creation, G.U.S.H. comments:
“G.U.S.H. is a modern take on ’90’s grunge music. Songwriter Roger LeBlanc has taken the traditional sound of grunge music and added elements of shoegaze, post-rock, and metal. This new path has given LeBlanc an opportunity to express the weight of living with a debilitating chronic mental illness through low tuned heavy riffs coupled with intimate lyrics and a dynamic vocal delivery that rides the lines between mania and violence.
“This album is a window into mental illness and addiction and deals with the grieving process, the suicide of a dear friend, and the loss of who LeBlanc once was. The creation of this album acts as a therapeutic process through which the themes of trauma and healing can be explored while offering a sense of solidarity and empowerment. LeBlanc wants to let people who are struggling know they are not alone and that there can be quality of life achievable through self compassion, patience, and acceptance, and hopes that it inspires others to embark on their own journey of healing and love.”
Look for G.U.S.H. to announce their debut album soon.
