Baltimore quartet GASKET have released Dull the Needle, a seven song EP today, November 17, via Blue Grape Music. Get it here.

The band describes the EP as an "exhibition of vitality."

The EP clocks in at less than 10 minutes of run time but is a full length dose of ferocity and fury.

Each song clocks in at under two minutes, efficiently making their points, leaving the listener gasping for air before mercilessly moving onto the next track.

GASKET serve up a lethal and gnarly blend of crusty punk, old school hardcore, and straight up metal over the course of the EP. Consider this your fair warning.

"GASKET are opening the door for the next generation of kids looking to take metal and hardcore to new places, and we at Blue Grape Music are proud to help the band propel heavy music culture to an ever widening global audience with the release of their first EP Dull the Needle," says Blue Grape president Dave Rath.
