Gatherers (formerly known as Gatherer[1]) is a melodic hardcore band from Bayonne, New Jersey. Founded in 2011,[2] Gatherers has released four full-length albums, one single, one EP, and one live release. In 2015, they signed to Equal Vision Records.[3]

History

[edit]

The band was founded as Gatherer in 2011 by bassist Matt Popowski, drummer Adam Cichocki, vocalist Christian Berrigan, guitarist Justin Cosentino, and guitarist Austin Lipinski. They self-released their debut EP entitled Postcards in March 2012, with a vinyl release coming soon after in June via Glass Nail Records,[4][5] which consisted of four songs. Cosentino was briefly replaced by Randy LeBoeuf, who was then replaced by Gianmarco Felix Guerra-Coletti.

Due to the closure of Glass Nail Records,[6] they self-released their first full-length album entitled Caught Between a Rock and a Sad Place in June 2013. Shortly after this release, Berrigan announced his departure from the band in a Facebook post.[7]

Vocalist Rich Weinberger joined the band in 2014 to fill the gap left behind by Berrigan.[8][2] In March 2015, they released a single entitled God Deluxe[9] which contained a song of the same name to build hype for their second full-length album, Quiet World,[10] which was released in July that same year.[11] The band appeared on WSOU and described the writing process as visual and driven by the way things sound (e.g. digging in dirt).[12] In support of the album, the band embarked on the Common Vision Tour with Every Time I Die and Gnarwolves.[13][14] After these releases, guitarist Gianmarco Felix Guerra-Coletti left the band.

In June 2016, the band made an appearance on Audiotree Live,[15] wherein the band played songs from their previously released material and one new song. This doubled as a live release, which was released digitally.

After the departure of guitarist Austin Lipinski, the band gained guitarists Anthony Gesa and Rob Talalai. In June 2018, they released their third full-length album[16][17] entitled We Are Alive Beyond Repair and embarked on a summer USA tour with Bent Knee.[18]

On April 16, 2019, Gatherers released a new single called "Sick, Sad Heart" in the build up to their first European tour.[19]

Via Flood Magazine on April 30, 2020, the band released a new single entitled "Ad Nauseam, I Drown" from their forthcoming fourth LP.[20] They also announced that they have changed record labels and are now on No Sleep Records.

On November 18, 2022 Gatherers released their fourth studio album: (mutilator.)
