The Gelheads are a guitar-driven post-punk quartet that formed in Chicago in 2001. Citing influences such as Cheap Trick, The Replacements, Jimmy Eat World, and The Foo Fighters – the band formulates crafty, hook-laden melodies backed by a hard-hitting rhythm section to create memorable anthems.

After their first single “Deer in Headlights” debuted on Chicago’s Q101, the band quickly rose through the ranks and found themselves travelling across the U.S., amassing a grassroots regional fanbase.

Over their 20-year career, the band has toured nationally opening for well-known artists including The Killers, KISS, Everclear, The Goo Goo Dolls, Papa Roach and Sugarcult; as well as earning a brief stint on the 2002 Vans Warped Tour.

The Gelheads have emerged from a period of lessened activity to release the “Tail Lights” an EP of three songs from a former session that were never completed and thought to be lost. The band worked with producer Andy Gerber at Chicago’s Million Yen Studios to painstakingly locate the original tracks and give them the mix they deserved. Tail Lights was released on March 12, 2021. The band is planning on festival appearances later in the summer and will re-enter the studio later this year.

Sweetie is here with a sugar rush that’ll leave you wanting more! Formed in 2019, this Chicago three-piece combines the hooks and emotional dynamics of the Distillers with the guttural edge of early rock and roll. Sweetie is just what the doctor ordered.

The south side of Chicago has a tough working class reputation, it’s also known for one of the largest populations of Irish people this side of the Emerald Isle. So it’s not entirely incongruous that a hard luck kid from the south side of town would choose to play traditional Irish folk music in pubs around the neighborhood. At 18, Anthony (T.) Duggins, was doing just that – playing pub favorites and covers of greats like Christy Moore, and Ewan MacColl. Before long his brother and his best friends were playing the original songs he had written as well, and so became The Tossers. The name was taken from an old slang term used for worthless British coins in Sean O’Casey’s play The Plough and the Stars. The coins became useless after the southern Irish Free State won independence from Britain, and started to print it’s own currency. The term tosser has since come to mean wanker, or it’s American equivalent, jag off.
