BLACK-HEADED GULL

Black-Headed Gull moves sound like a storm. Formed in Toronto, Ontario fusing the dread of grunge and the expanse of shoegaze to command crowds through powerful highs and thoughtful lows. Smithing their sound through performances city-wide and interminable recording sessions over the past year, they have garnered a sound akin to poetic barbed wire or an untangled machine. Benedict Cotterill's unforgiving bass growl, Callum Furneaux's waves of echoed guitar distortion, and aggressive, unrelenting drums from David Belenski set the backdrop for Odie Vokes to control a crowd, becoming impossibly vulnerable and singing on behalf of and becoming, Black-Headed Gull.
