The sonic onslaught commences, and Gauze will be the axe that cleaves your skull. Gauze were an early 80s hardcore/thrash band from somewhere in the desolate neon peppered streets of Japan that had one intention: “Play as fast as possible without actually playing as fast as possible”. They sound like what I would imagine an overspilled semi-truck of bowling balls to sound like. With about that intensity as well. Even if you tried to stop it you’d only get your face relocated in the process. Gauze may have started as a Discharge cover band since that seemed to be the norm of the day, but who gives a shit, influence is not outcome. Below are some videos from 1982-86 of them playing in probably the basements of orphanariums. I Think these guys reunited (thank god) and are currently touring around Japan but they could just be committing a series of prolonged muggings, either way DESTRUCTION AFTER THE FALL!
