Gather

for every life, for liberation!

About Me

"Gather plays a brand of sincere hardcore that I haven't seen in almost a decade. Their radical politics, vegan straightedge lifestyle, and forward and open support of direct action for Total Liberation, laid over some great mid-1990s style crunchy metallic hardcore, send tingles down my spine every time I hear them."
Joe Reno; MMR
