Brooklyn-based trio Gooseberry work with Alternative Rock, Indie, and Blues influences. Following successful winter and spring tours, Gooseberry announced their sophomore LP, Simple Sucker, arriving September 25, 2026.

The single and video for “Fault Lines” are out now and the band has announced a Fall European tour with dates across the UK, Germany, and Austria.

“Fault Lines” finds Gooseberry exploring one of the heaviest sounds they’ve yet pursued.

Frontman Asa Daniels explains:

You know that meme where Squidward watches from his window as SpongeBob and Patrick have all kinds of fun? That’s essentially what this song is about. It’s about picking up your life and leaving a place you’ve known forever—say, New York City—and relocating 300-plus miles away to a city that couldn’t feel more different.

From afar, all you can do is rot away watching on social media as other bands play your favorite venues back home—shows you can’t be at. In many ways, this song is about homesickness, but also about how isolation can completely distort your perspective. Musically, it’s one of the heaviest songs in the Gooseberry catalog, and it owes a great debt to Soundgarden.

Comprising of Asa Daniels (guitar, vocals), Evin Rossington (drums), and Will Hammond (bass), Gooseberry have become a presence in NYC’s music scene, playing venues like Bowery Ballroom, and supporting ouring acts such as Ringo Starr, BabyJake, and Tanner Usrey.

About the album Simple Sucker, Daniels explains:

…there are songs where we’re poking fun at people for being fools; fools in love; fools who think they can impart wisdom for change; fools ourselves, longing to return to days gone by.
