TweetShare Listen to the debut self-titled album by Gauntlet Hair below. Who has two thumbs, likes Gauntlet Hair (the band, not the style), and has waited a year and a half for this debut? This dude, right here.  Gauntlet Hair‘s debut album has been a long and agonising wait for myself and a host of others too [...]

TweetShare This pleases me greatly. Greatly,  I tell thee! Last year the two dudes from Lafayette, Colorado that compromise Gauntlet Hair burst onto the “scene” with the pitch-perfect noise-concoction of debut single “I Was Thinking” and a couple of other jams equally as raucous.  The pair then released the single on vinyl via the newly-minted Forest [...]

I featured them about a month ago and included three of their songs.  At that time they had only just revealed they were releasing their debut single [...]

TweetShare Another recent signing to the newly created label Forest Family Records is Gauntlet Hair, who now share the label with “Cults”, the excellent new Indie-Soul duo from San Diego. Gauntlet Hair are two BFFs (Andy and Craig) from Lafayette, Colorado who’ve been making music together since they were 15 and it shows, their sound [...]
