Gideon Drop New Heavy Track featuring Knocked Loose Frontman

Woah. This is absolutely sick.

Gideon are no strangers to writing absolute bangers, but it seems that they’ve gone all out with this new track off of their upcoming record Cold. Gideon has had quite a few rough days, which no doubt have inspired the lyrical content for “Cursed”.

“This song is about bad luck. We went through a streak where it literally felt like everything we did went wrong, and anyone we came into contact with experienced bad things,” drummer/lyricist Jake Smelley tells Alternative Press. “We had a van get robbed at our guitarist [Tyler Riley’s] house, and we had a van also get robbed at our singer [Daniel McWhorter’s] house, and at the same time tons of things were going wrong in our personal lives. Then we went on tour, and we had about $8,000 worth of stuff stolen from us in California, and in the same week we headed into Canada and totaled our van! When all of that happens, you feel like a black cat, in a way, and you almost don’t want to be around anyone in case it rubs off on them, too.”

Oof. That’s quite a lot of bad luck indeed. Despite all the unfortunate events and feeling like the world’s going to end, Gideon pulled through like real rockers do. Pairing up with Bryan Garris of Knocked Loose only makes the track even more headbang and bedroom mosh-worthy.  “Cursed” is a much needed addition to any playlist you regularly jam to!

Gideon’s upcoming record Cold is set for release on May 12th, 2017. You can pre-order digitally here, or pick up some rad merch and bundles here.
