Assertion - Basking In The Gaslight

Assertion is a band forged in resilience, built on chemistry, and sustained by the will to keep moving forward, even when everything seems to fall apart. Formed in the Pacific Northwest by drummer William Goldsmith (Sunny Day Real Estate, Foo Fighters) and vocalist/guitarist Justin Tamminga, the band introduced themselves with Intermission in 2021, a record marked by raw immediacy and the renewed sense of purpose that came from returning to music not out of obligation, but out of necessity.
