A New Era of Prog is Here
Formed amid the influx of global chaos in early 2020, SoCal insurgents GINGSU have spent the last five years carving out their own niche in the California progressive rock underground. Comprised of guitarist James Packes, drummer Caleb Paust, bassist Michael Aripez, and vocalist Quin Seely, the group embodies genre non-compliance, blurring the lines between sophistication and brutality. In a world of neatly packaged carbon copies quick to credit their success to "originality" and "authenticity", GINGSU issues a challenge beyond the buzzwords. The group has independently released an EP, album, and a slew of singles, several of which have received both college and commercial radio play. In addition, their music has been featured in multiple short films and performance skate videos, and their latest spine-crushing numbers, including "Going Out of Business!", "Law of the Tongue" and "Failure to Launch", have garnered significant attention in the social media sphere. Politically conscious, musically daring, and stylistically incorrigible, GINGSU is steadily cementing their status as torchbearers for the shape of rock to come.
