GAS manage to be subversive and slapstick at the same time, providing post-punk, Mad magazine-esque music to the world. Rolling Stone called it “nimble-witted new-wave pop.” - Andy Moore, Isthmus 

GAS has been going since 1997, and somewhere along the way dropped the playful affectation of pretending they might be actual german art students. These days they're comfortable, as they should be, as just four folks making new wave-tinged power-pop that riffs on highly specific topics, as captured on tracks like "Civil War Reenactor" and "Bjorn Borg." And you don't have to be in on any particular joke to enjoy the slap-happy catchiness of a song like "Pompeii," from the band's 2008 EP, 79 A.D. - Scott Gordon, tonemadison.com

Sporadically filling Madison bars with fans of their high-energy punk rock sound since 1997 - Joel Patenaude, Madison Magazine.

Andy Larson - Vocals, Bass 
Annelies Howell - Vocals, Guitar 
Kirk Wall - Guitar, Vocals 
Randy Ballwahn - Drums, Vocals
