Bio

Male/Female duo, Gloomsday, featuring Justin Cota on baritone guitar and Lori Sokolowski on drums, was formed in 2007.

Hailing from San Diego, this dynamic and high-energy two-piece got their start playing house parties and dive bars. Willing and able to hold their own alongside other full piece bands, Gloomsday brings a head banging groove with some hip shaking rhythms. The effect of baritone guitar running through dual amplification brings a huge sound that is accented by big, driving beats. This duo creates a true unique sound with influences ranging from garage and post-punk to experimental, noise-pop.

Born from socially conscious commentary, each member of Gloomsday seemed destined to be paired together. Cota as a multi-instrumentalist played guitar and provided backing vocals in minor label grind-core band Forever is Forgotten. Sokolowski's varied musical background began with trombone and folk guitar until she met Cota and the two started what is now Gloomsday.

This first incarnation of the band had Cota on drums and Sokolowski on bass with a third member on guitar. Once Sokolowski took up the drums they started a post-punk dance-rock band with a third member on bass. In time, the two decided to break away and focus on a two-piece project under the name Knives! After playing locally under that name they decided to change it before the release of their first album.

The self-titled, four song EP is out now.
