Hailed as one of AP's "100 Bands To Know In 2011," Tuscaloosa, AL's Gideon are a no holds barred, in-your-face hardcore band with an already impressive repertoire. Well-placed gang vocals and a powerful front man set Gideon apart from many of their peers, while the band as a whole, whose members have been playing together only since 2008, come off sounding like seasoned pros. For fans of XDeathstarX, Terror and Comeback Kid.
