Nu Emocore band GILT return with single and video "Seattle Day 2" out through Smartpunk Records

Since their last release four years ago, Florida-based band GILT have been honing in on their sound to create visceral, genre-blending earworms. Today the self-described “Nu Emocore” band reveal new single “Seattle Day 2,” out through Smartpunk Records, alongside a campy music video. Taking on a heavier tone, the track is full of nu-metal bounce, punishing metalcore chugs, and a classic 0-0-0-0 breakdown. Vocalist Asha Locke delivers intense screams that channel the feeling of being trapped.

The video for “Seattle Day 2” starts like a typical reaction video before heading into haunting territory set off by a potent performance by the band. The video was shot and edited by Ribshot Visuals and GILT with influencer Kace Valentine appearing. You can watch the video for “Seattle Day 2” HERE and stream the track HERE.

On the song and video, rhythm guitarist / vocalist Tyler Fieldhouse shares:

“‘Seattle Day 2’ references the name of a bossfight with The Rat King in the popular The Last Of Us game series. It’s directly about succumbing to your worst self and is intended to feel inescapable. It comes with an accompanying classic core-era music video featuring influencer Kace Valentine in a campy horror subplot as a possessed Youtuber, linking to the album’s overall theme of media oversaturation and escapism.”

GILT will perform at the official Smartpunk Records South by Southwest showcase at Hotel Vegas on March 17th and in Orlando, FL on March 21st supporting Capstan.

Upcoming Shows:

3/17 - Austin, TX @ Smartpunk Records SXSW showcase @ Hotel Vegas
