    Who we are

    • If the room isn't shaking, turn it up
    • Play the quiet song once
    • Never play a cover you love more than us
    • Leave the venue louder than you found it

    Gravel Altar started in a freezing rehearsal room above a laundrette and never got over it. Two guitars tuned a whole step apart, a bass that only knows four notes, and a drum kit held together with gaffer tape and stubbornness.

    We write about bad towns, bad weather and worse plans. We have played a kitchen, a laundrette at 2am, and one festival stage in the rain that we are still not convinced was real.
