About Me

Relying on good hooks and songwriting, instead of gimmicks and gadgets, Gist. has carved out its own spot in the formidably close-knit DC music scene as one of Washington, DC ’s best live acts.
Coversations, Expectations.Gist ’s newest full-length album, channels that notoriously high-energy live performance into a concise, substantive album that draws together aspects of new wave punk, classic rock and the well-known Dischord sound.
The album, recorded under the guidance and keen ear of Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse, Denali, Mono) at the Sound of Music in Richmond, VA, throws the contemporary wisdom of over-compressed faux-lloudness out the window. Opting instead to give the subtle complexity of each song the room to breathe, “Conversations, Expectations ” takes on characteristics and depth reminiscent of early REM or The Replacements. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
With their surging tempos and teetering guitar lines, such rockers as "Eclipse" and "Asunder" demonstrate that Gist has rearranged for the better The Washington Post
