Portland, Oregon, based Gondos is a hard band to define. With an ever evolving sound that ranges from the darkest depths of doom metal and punk to the fuzzy, psychedelic worlds of rock and garage. Drawing upon influences of the past such as Black Sabbath, and more contemporary bands such as Thee Oh Sees, Gondos builds upon the psych/garage rock resurgence of the 2010’s, adding their original take on the genre. Gondos was born from the ever restless mind of lead songwriter, singer, and guitarist Aidan Trueheart Case in 2019. From then until now the band has remained almost entirely with its original lineup of guitarist Aidan Case, bassist Chris Farquhar, and drummer Grant Anderson. In 2022 the band adopted lead guitarist, studio engineer, and producer Ben Windhiem, of Portland contemporaries The Macks, to complete a sonically complex and devastating live sound. On August 5th 2023, Gondos released their sophomore self titled album: Gondos. Recorded live to a 1/2 inch analog tape machine in Windheim’s Portland basement studio. The record showcases the bands ability to effortlessly capture multiple genres and influences under the umbrella of their unique style all while capturing an authentic, pulverizing rock sound.
