Gauntlet Hair was an American indie rock band formed in 2010 by Andy R. and Craig M. The duo quickly gained recognition for their unique blend of experimental pop and post-punk influences.
With their self-titled debut album released in 2011, Gauntlet Hair showcased their distinctive sound characterized by catchy melodies, intricate guitar work, and dynamic vocals. Their music drew comparisons to other artists such as Young Prisms, No Joy, and Wild Nothing.
Unfortunately, on August 11, 2013, Andy & Craig announced that Gauntlet Hair had reached its end. Despite their relatively short-lived career, the impact of Gauntlet Hair's music continues to resonate with fans of the indie rock genre.

Trunk-rattling bass; the ecstatic, tinny post-punk guitar; the din of ecstasy. But what was once simply jarring in its audacity is now also bursting with colors. While the band continues to mine the pulse-and-clap cues of modern club rap, the intricacies of Andy's Durutti Column-inspired, circular guitar lines come a bit more to the fore on Gauntlet Hair. They are at once oblique and; pounding and glassy; melodic and exploratory. Standout "Top Bunk," with its tide-like suction and throb, is a cooled-out, coastal slowgrind. The songs multiple sections overlap and interlace through bass throb, elliptical guitars and affably shouted and falsetto-sung mantras. It's a shining, disorienting example of the careful, Byzantine sculpture behind each of these party jams. It's music made with the sole purpose of losing yourself both mind and body nside of it. They take the listener into the red, evoking that unmistakable feeling of being squarely in front of the speaker as it is screaming blissfully loud melodies.
