Gideon's Army

New York-based southern-infused rock collective, Gideon’s Army, have released a new single, “Don’t Mind,” from their forthcoming full-length album, King of the League. The record is set for an early 2016 release and will be available on CD, vinyl LP and digital formats and will be recorded with Anthony Gallo (Bon Jovi, John Legend, Common, Norah Jones, Gavin DeGraw, Yeasayer) at Virtue and Vice in Brooklyn.

Founded in 2014, Gideon’s Army is the brainchild of frontman and guitarist Rob Bray, who wrote and recorded the first tracks as a solo project. Bray has since taken his act to some of New York’s most well-known stages, including Pianos, Leftfield and The Bitter End, filling out the group’s line-up with an array of guest musicians along the way. Influenced by a variety of artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, The Black Crowes and Kings of Leon, Bray is gearing up to bring Gideon’s Army’s diverse sound to the masses.

Over the past six months, Gideon’s Army has also notched performances across the US, including shows at legendary northeast venues, Arlene's Grocery, Fontana's and Mexicali Live, as well as in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas and Boston. The band is poised to hit the road again in support of King of the League and will look to return to the studio for the album’s follow-up in late 2016. Check out his music in iTunes by Clicking Here.
