Gather was a vegan straight edge hardcore band from California, US.
The band was formed by: Eva (vocals), Dustin (drums),
Allan (guitar) & Randy (bass). They had a strong green anarchist attitude
and didn’t mince their mouth for what they stand for.
They released their first demo, together with a zine in 2004. With assistance
from Scott Crouse, band member of Earth Crisis, on an additional
guitar part for one song and the producing,
they spread the word out to the world and especially their first tour.
Because the band xMaroonx from Germany was not able
to come to the states in 2004, they filled-in for the well known Total
Liberation Fest Tour. A short time later the official demo, also called
Total Liberation 7“ was released. Henceforth the connections to other vsxe bands
were made and in 2005 the split with the awesome band Seven Generations came out.
This was also the second and at the same time last 7“ from Gather,
but fortunately not their last record. One year later, in 2006, I guess their biggest step
to become more popular, was the European Tour with To Kill.
The 12“ „Beyond the Ruins“ was released the same year on xCatalystx Records.
By the way the other two, were released on New Eden Records.
Together with their last release, there were also made some with special covers,
for their reunion show as a tribute for Seven Generations, whom played on
that date their last show. As some of you might know the date was 2009-10-24.
They toured together with bands like To Kill, Seven Generations, Kingdom and Punch.
Today, both Eva and Dustin are playing still music, but in other different bands.
Eva is singer in the band called Rats in the wall, Dustin is in the band: The Videos.
Unfortunately I have no information regarding the other two old band members,
but if you came across them and any updates, feel free to hit me up!
