At the end of 1998, GAGE added guitarist Chad Soucy and began writing and recording new material for their fourth cd release. In July 1999, GAGE was selected for the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 3 by TAXI from over 5000 entries to compete in live competition at the Middle East. Round 2 continued and GAGE was selected from over 90 bands to compete in the semi-finals. GAGE continues in their tradition of powerful guitar driven music. GAGE's intention has always been to merge the musical styles to create strong, emotional songs.
GAGE is an impact band offering songs, commitment, and intensity.
