Gamilla let the fuzz bleed and preconceptions burn in the alt-rock siren single, ‘Pink Judgement’ –

Gamilla drenched grunge in distortion in her debut LP, Catholic School Girl. The sound may be distinctly alt-90s and grounded in Seattle, but the Puerto Rican firebrand aestheticised the sonics with her distinct Y2K visual aura, twisting the nostalgic timelines and creating a new cosmos of fuzz, scuzz, and vindication. One of the standout singles, Pink Judgement, proves that, while her guitar licks are drenched in reverb and saturated, they’re still razor sharp; sharp enough to cut through the malaise surrounding contemporary alt-rock.

She digs into the revival of grunge as fiercely as Hands Off Gretel while channelling the authentic rage of the likes of Jack Off Jill, all the while keeping the melodic lines sticky, sweet, and seriously addictive. You’re almost forced into an interstellar whirlpool of incandescent yet sharply directed frustration. Everyone has preconceptions, but through Pink Judgement, Gamilla thrashes her way through them with augmented force, tempered with teasingly melodic panache.

After graduating from Berklee College of Music with a major in Recording and Independent Production, she became a one-woman powerhouse, pouring her vision into every bassline, vocal run, riff, and lyric. The concept behind Catholic School Girl dives into the emotional texture of teenage and college-aged angst, turning discontent into colour-smeared art rock. With Pink Judgement, Gamilla proved she’s here to reignite rock on her own terms.

Pink Judgement is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
