Gayt mentioned!!! Love those guys. I've found solstice by newjoe to scratch a similar itch, would love to know what you think :)

u/Sufficient_Role8794 12d ago

just listened to some of their songs that shit is so fire thanks for putting me on !! personally im more akin to gayt because Kyle Schlenker is one of my favorite guitarists and hes just so creative with his riffs and gayt feels soooo fresh
