Formed over a combined love of the early UK math rock scene and garage rock in America, Brighton based trio Gender Roles have been making waves in the DIY/Punk scene for the last year. After vocalist/guitarist Tom Bennett moved back to his hometown of Northampton, out of boredom he experimented with warped guitar segments and recorded them into rough demos, laying the basis for songs that were shaped into four tracks found on their debut EP `Planet XRay'. In 2017, Gender Roles embarked on playing relentless shows in the UK (including supports with Single Mothers, Pulled Apart by Horses ) and across the pond in the US in support of the release: dishing out a brutal blend of fuzz laden guitars, racing cymbals from Jordan Lilford and Jared Tomkins' droning bass, that melds together to form a hazy blend of slacker rock vs. gritty punk. 2017/2018 will see the band release a series of 4 digital singles, culminating in an EP in April. They'll be supporting Jamie Lenman on his UK tour in February as well as festival slots at Great Escape, Washed Out Festival and more.
