Gulfer


Gulfer was a Canadian rock band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They formed in 2011 and were composed of David Mitchell, Vincent Ford, Joe Therriault, and Julien Daoust. Their sound makes use of odd time signatures, tapping, clean guitar tones, shifting tonal dynamics, and introspective lyrics. The band's music has similarities to This Town Needs Guns, Sport, I Love Your Lifestyle, Tangled Hair, You Blew It!, and Dryjacket. The band has released three albums and several EPs and splits. In March 2018 they released their second studio album Dog Bless, in 2020 their third, self-titled album, and in 2024 their fourth and final album Third Wind. The band announced they would stop making music in May 2024 on their Instagram.

Musical style

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic states that the band "combines emo-punk, math rock, grunge, and shoegaze elements with explosive musicianship and vulnerable lyrics."
