PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD COMES NEW UNSEALED.
When Dublin’s Gurriers released 2024 debut album ‘Come And See’, they
underlined their status as a visceral, unignorable new voice in the thriving
Irish punk scene. Since then, they have carved out a steadily escalating
reputation for bone-rattling, mosh-ready live shows. ‘Come And See’ pushed
their lyrical chops and curious, socially-exploratory outlook to the fore too,
platforming songs about digital angst and IRL terror in the modern world.
The quintet’s superb second album might be called ‘Nobody’s Coming To
Save You’ then, but it could easily be subtitled ‘harder, better, faster,
stronger’. Recorded at Donegal’s Attica Studios and Holy Mountain Studios
in London with producers Mark Bowen of Idles and Loren Humphrey (Geese,
Cameron Winter), alongside engineer Chris Fullard (IDLES, Sunn O)))) and
world-renowned mixer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Modest Mouse, Swans),
the crack team that readily assembled for LP number two speaks volumes of
its quality from the off. This is Gurriers taking all the musical chemistry and
smart, interrogational worldview that made them great in the first place and
souping it up to the next level.
From the rattling tension of the title track’s opening moments that then give
way to a cacophonous, cathartic climax, ‘Nobody’s Coming To Save You’
takes this spirit of the sweaty basement venue and turns it stadium-sized. It’s
not just loud, but dynamic. ‘Shades’ takes shards of industrial, angular guitar
and sends them into a gnarly hardcore chorus, while ‘Drones’ is a true
pressure-cranking slow build with a drop destined to decimate every mosh pit
they travel through. On ‘Pins’, they explore a looser, more melodic swagger
that comes on like a grunge / trip-hop hybrid, whereas ‘Party Lines’ is pure
insatiable dance-punk hedonism. If the band’s MO was to find a way to make
the record slap you in the face, then consider yourself smacked.
With ‘Nobody’s Coming To Save You’, Gurriers have sent their ambitions
sky-high and come out swinging.
The band will tour throughout 2026, playing their biggest headline shows to
date in 17 countries across UK, Ireland and Europe from October. This
Summer they will have played major Irish festivals such as All Together Now
and Electric Picnic, then Leeds, Boomtown, Beautiful Days, Liverpool Sound
City plus Crystal Palace Bowl show with Kneecap in the UK.
Available to independent retailers on Transparent Teal 140g vinyl with
printed inner sleeve.
