Rock ‘n’ Roll Full of Heart & Soul

Based in Los Angeles, the 5-piece indie band fronted by singer-songwriter Greg Gilman is leading an explosion of timely Americana out of Southern California.

“The songs are written for you to think, reflect and question. And that, is a very good thing,” OnStage Magazine wrote after listening to GIGC’s debut LP, American Way, a 2018 record Impose Magazine described as, “a stirring, heartfelt experience.”

Cinematic melodies paired with heartfelt lyrics and irresistible harmonies have become hallmarks of the band’s unique sound — a mix of alternative rock, folk, country, pop and soul — topped off by Greg’s dynamic and raspy vocals, drawing comparisons to Bruce Springsteen, The Lumineers, and Mumford & Sons. “Some people give you a piece of themselves when they sing and Gilman is that kind of vocalist,” IndieMinded wrote in 2018 while praising fan-favorite track, Carrie’s Song, which the music magazine described as “a soulful, blues revival track with a gospel tinge that absorbs you.”

After 2019 single Monster’s Lair spent six months straight in regular rotation on one of LA’s most beloved adult alternative rock stations, 88.5 FM The SoCal Sound, GIGC slowly began recording and releasing more singles: (Heaven Is) A Moment Here with You premiered in American Songwriter before legendary DJ Nic Harcourt selected it as his “Fresh Squeezed Track of the Day”; Mulholland at Midnight, a rock ballad paying tribute to one of LA’s most iconic roadways, premiered on 88.5 FM before Underground Music Collective hailed it as “a masterpiece”; more recently Just a Sunset and HOME also premiered on L.A. radio, with music blog Beats Per Minute writing the latter “has the heart and power of Bruce Springsteen’s best work.” 

GIGC hit the road throughout the summer of 2021 to perform small shows in Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee, but the definitive highlight was performing to thousands of people at Montana’s Red Ants Pants Music Festival, in a lineup that also included incredible bands like The Lone Bellow, The Mavericks, and Watchhouse.

The band — including Marty Vites (lead guitar), Alex U’Ren (bass), Alexa Brinkschulte (drums), Jon Sarna (percussion) and Lee (vocals, piano) — is now poised to release sophomore album Quiet Days and Quiet Nights later this summer.
