History

The band was founded as Gatherer in 2011 by bassist Matt Popowski, drummer Adam Cichocki, vocalist Christian Berrigan, guitarist Justin Cosentino, and guitarist Austin Lipinski. They self-released their debut EP entitled Postcards in March 2012, with a vinyl release coming soon after in June via Glass Nail Records, [4] [5]

Due to the closure of Glass Nail Records, [6] they self-released their first full-length album entitled Caught Between a Rock and a Sad Place in June 2013. Shortly after this release, Berrigan announced his departure from the band in a Facebook post. [7]

Vocalist Rich Weinberger joined the band in 2014 to fill the gap left behind by Berrigan. [8] [2] In March 2015, they released a single entitled God Deluxe [9] which contained a song of the same name to build hype for their second full-length album, Quiet World, [10] which was released in July that same year. [11] The band appeared on WSOU and described the writing process as visual and driven by the way things sound (e.g. digging in dirt). [12] In support of the album, the band embarked on the Common Vision Tour with Every Time I Die and Gnarwolves. [13] [14]

In June 2016, the band made an appearance on Audiotree Live, [15]

After the departure of guitarist Austin Lipinski, the band gained guitarists Anthony Gesa and Rob Talalai. In June 2018, they released their third full-length album [16] [17] entitled We Are Alive Beyond Repair and embarked on a summer USA tour with Bent Knee. [18]

On April 16, 2019, Gatherers released a new single called "Sick, Sad Heart" in the build up to their first European tour. [19]

Via Flood Magazine on April 30, 2020, the band released a new single entitled "Ad Nauseam, I Drown" from their forthcoming fourth LP. [20]
