GULCH If you're into the metallic stoner boogie rock of bands like BRAND NEW SIN and wonder what BLACK LABEL SOCIETY would sound like without so many pinch harmonics, Kansas beardos GULCH will be right up your alley. Their stock in trade is burly riffs, workingman's solos and heavy, catchy songs steeped in the classics and sung with rough-hewn gusto. On their debut, "Uphill Both Ways", they're poised to make a name for themselves among those who like a little shitkicker groove with their metal.
GULCH are at that point where lesser bands wither and fail -- making the jump from local heroes to the Herculean task of making an larger regional or national impression. With "Uphill Both Ways" as their stepping stone and calling card, GULCH should have no problem making the leap
