History

Gaza formed in February 2004 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The project started out intending to be an indie band, but, according to then-bassist Jon Parkin, that "lasted about half a practice".[2] Gaza's original lineup consisted of Casey Hansen on drums, Jon Parkin on bass, and Michael Mason and Luke Sorenson on guitars. With this lineup they played their first two shows with different vocalists, first with Dustin Dransfield and then with Dreu Hudson. After their departure, Jon Parkin switched to lead vocals, and bass player Chris Clement was added.[3] With this lineup, the band recorded their debut EP "East" in 2004, which was distributed by Exigent Records.[4] In 2006, the band signed to label Black Market Activities, on which they have released two albums, "I Don't Care Where I Go When I Die" and "He Is Never Coming Back". After the release of "He Is Never Coming Back", founding member Luke Sorenson left the band, leaving them as a four-piece. They have recently released their third full length album entitled "No Absolutes In Human Suffering", also on Black Market Activities.[5]
