Gravity Propulsion System

Beautiful, angst-filled skronk & skree, sturm & drang, piss & vinegar from this Oklahoma City duo-turned-trio. The lineup was recently cemented with Lance Pellegrini on guitar and second drum kit and draws its influences from the unholy waters of Lightning Bolt, Slug, Bad Moon Rising-era Sonic Youth, the more song-oriented Dead C material, and other assorted noisicians. With an arsenal comprised of drums, bass, guitar, four amps, three microphones, tape loops, and an insane amount of stompboxes, this trio creates a tempest of sound that is reminiscent rather than an imitation of its predecessors, for it springs from the same primitive logic and visceral understanding of the word and of art.

What the critics have said:

"Gravity Propulsion System is a two-man drum and bass effort bred within the offices of the Hoffman Bikes compound in Oklahoma City, OK. Bryan Baxter (bass) and Mark Owen (drums), employees of HB, riders and band-mates, comprise GPS. Their offices are adjacent to each other from 8:30-5pm each weekday. After work and on the weekends, they make music. And the music they make is unlike most any music out there. Bryan and Mark have the unique ability to work outside the confines of the traditional song formula. In fact, I don't think they know traditions, or even influences for that matter. And that in my opinion is GPS's greatest asset."

"Big, screwy guitars and shouted, anthemic vocals are warped by overdubbed dialogue and crackling feedback in this envelope-pushing Indie Punk. The art-damage is kept to a minimum as window-breaking aggression drives these intelligent bursts of sonic indulgence."
-Mike M., listen.com

"Juggernauts of damaged rock & art noise."
-Gabe Wingfield, Maritime Fist Glee Club

"Trippy noise stuff that's cool. Some song based stuff. I like it."
