Gel - Artist Tickets

Gel emerged from the New Jersey scene in 2018 as a side project from Sick Shit, evolving into a distinctive hardcore/metalcore force. The final lineup included Sami Kaiser, Matthew Bobko, Maddi Nave, Alex Salter, with Anthony Webster having previously contributed. Gel’s work blends aggressive guitars with intricate rhythms, delivering a raw, energetic live experience.

With the release of Only Constant, Gel established a strong voice in the hardcore community. The debut full-length arrived on Convulse Records on March 31, 2023, earning praise from outlets like Pitchfork and Revolver for its uncompromising approach and melodic flourishes. In 2024, the band released Persona, a 5-track EP on Blue Grape Music, signaling a sonic evolution and broader artistic scope.

Gel’s touring history included North American dates tied to the Persona release in 2024–2025, followed by a 2025 Persona tour that expanded to Australia and Japan. Unfortunately, the project disbanded on March 19, 2025, after allegations surrounding a former guitarist led to the cancellation of all upcoming shows, including major festival appearances and tours.
