BORN GOLD
borngold.us
Formerly known as Gobble Gobble, a band that sounds like it was born from a bad Thanksgiving family get together (even though they're Canadians). Well the turkey is dead, and hatch from its golden egg is a new band called Born Gold.
Leader Cecil Frena explains "We have been slowly coaxing this caterpillar into a butterfly with our fists. Check it out, girl - a new face to fit both our past to date and the futuresex we are slowly growing into. Stand before a mirror, hold your palm over your right eye, and repeat Born Gold six times."
The band just premiered their song "Decimate Everything" on Pitchfork and they are currently on tour:
