" Guck is a swirling, bubbling, grinding mass that grows larger and hungrier with each passing day. The band formed in the spring of 2022 when guitarist Chappy Hull had just moved to Los Angeles and needed a place to store his Crate 2×12. Serendipitously, he met bassist Andrew Morrill and drummer Kyle Bray at a show, offering to let him stash the amp at their practice space. Upon meeting up with synth wizard Sam Rogich to get the keys, Hull suggested the four of them get together in their now-shared practice space to play whatever unhinged ideas came to mind. This first meeting proved to be surprisingly fruitful, and they began getting together regularly to collaborate. The framework for Guck had taken shape.
Their freeform, no-holds-barred approach to jamming resulted in hours of recordings which were methodically chopped up, disfigured, and rearranged into songs. Now that they had stumbled upon a sound they just needed a vocalist who could compliment the chaos. Rogich asked April Gerloff if they would like to try their hand at fronting a band. Gerloff, who had been primarily a noise musician and instrumentalist, was intrigued by the challenge. Within minutes of their first practice together, it was clear that Gerloff’s voice and lyrics were the perfect fit, and with the final piece of the puzzle in place, GUCK was crystallized into a 5-piece unit.
They began playing shows around LA multiple times a month, ever tightening their electrifying live show before recording their first full length “Gucked Up”. The record showcases Guck’s uncanny ability to combine disparate elements from across genres and distill them into ear-shattering noise. Though seeming to be perpetually at risk of coming entirely apart at the seams, Guck’s tightly locked rhythms and sense of compact songwriting keep it all under wraps, bolstered by jagged guitar riffing and chirping synth lines, all tied off with a strikingly absurdist sense of humor.
Guck is comprised of current and former members of Gnarwhal, Pile, Designer, Prized Pig, Sprain, Argentinum Astrum, and many, many more. A grainy video of their second show has grabbed the attention of curious fans of abrasive music from around the Internet, and they have gathered a solid following in just their first year of existence. Their music has been described as loud, deranged, jazz-damaged noise rock, and likened to licking a 9-volt battery. "
