New Traditions

Description

« Gimic finally releases its first album with Drunken Sailor, after a demo and two 45s published by Crew Cuts Records. Gimic is a band that takes its time and prioritizes quality over quantity, having released only 13 tracks in six years of existence. 'New Traditions' is a 12-track album that stands as a true manifesto; it is a record that will appeal to the current generation, but will also be rediscovered in the years to come as one of the masterpieces of 2026. It is urgent and energetic music, full of unexpected twists. The rhythm section is perfectly tight and in total harmony, while the guitar offers a clear and incisive sound; but it is Harry's voice - with its visceral and striking timbre - that gives the whole a combative and emotional dimension. Imagine a mix between hardcore Minutemen, an angry math-rock band, and the instrumental virtuosity of No Means No. It is a punk record signed by four musicians who live and breathe DIY punk. Gimic has created a remarkable and inventive album that deserves all your attention and enthusiasm. » - Sean Forbes (Hard Skin, Rugger Bugger Discs...)
