GIDEON - "Costs" - Biography 2011

Hailed as one of AP’s "100 Bands To Know In 2011", Tuscaloosa, Alabama’s Gideon are a no-holds-barred, in-your-face hardcore band with an already impressive repertoire. Well-placed gang vocals and a powerful frontman set Gideon apart from many of their peers, while the band as a whole, whose members have been playing together only since 2008, come off sounding like seasoned pros. Gideon have self-released two EPs since 2008 with the help of Brian Hood (former MyChildren MyBride guitarist) at 456 Recordings (A Plea For Purging, MyChildren MyBride, Before There Was Rosalyn), and have been committed to playing as many shows as possible, turning to full-time touring after all members of the band had graduated from high school. Their Facedown debut Costs (also engineered by Brian Hood) will be released on March 1, 2011 and will be supported by non-stop touring including stops at Facedown Fest in Pomona, CA (April) and Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, IL (July).
