Gouge Away have released a new two-song E.P. and the B-side / cover of the iconic Pixies track “Wave of Mutilation” is available for your streaming pleasure.  Vocalist Christina Michelle comments on the song, "This is a fun way of getting back at people who are upset that we're named after a song title."
 
The Consider b/w Wave of Mutilation E.P. follows the one-year anniversary of Gouge Away’s acclaimed full-length Burnt Sugar, and the band continues to sink their enraged critiques into societal ills and injustice.  Recorded by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker), A-side "Consider" is a strikingly aggressive song; lyrically it stands as a powerful artistic statement on blind nationalism and patriotism in the modern age. B-side "Wave of Mutilation" is a fantastic Pixies cover.  25% of the profits from the sale of this 7inch will be donated to the International Rescue Committee – more information on the organization and their mission can be found at rescue.org.
