Det uregerlige irske punkband Gurriers er tilbage i København den 28. november – denne gang på Loppen, hvor de kommer med en ny og større lyd fra deres kommende album ‘Nobodys Coming To Save You’!

Gurriers cementerede deres status som en de mest umiskendelige, rå kræfter på den irske punkscene med deres debutalbum Come And See i 2024. Som endnu et band skabt under Corona-epidemien brugte bandets besætning – sanger Dan Hoff, guitarister Ben O’Neill og Mark MacCormack og trommespiller Pierce Callaghan – årene efter på at opbygge et ry på deres hjemstavnsscene i Dublin, hvor bandet hurtigt fik anerkendelse for deres notorisk knogleknusende og moshpit-indbydende shows. På debutalbummet ‘Come And See’ udforskede bandet også deres lyriske evner med et socialkritisk fokus på digital angst og terror i den moderne verden.

I månederne efter udgivelsen af ‘Come And See’ eskalerede Gurriers som band: De blev inviteret på Jools Hollands late night show Later, spillede Glastonbury og varmede op for både Turnstile og Kneecap, samt en turné i Europa, hvor bandet nu også havde fået bassist Charlie McCarthy med på scenen.

Nu er opfølgeren til ‘Come And See’ på vej… ‘Nobodys Coming To Save You’ udkommer den 25. September via Play It Again Sam. Albummet kunne ifølge bandet selv lige så godt have heddet ‘harder, better, faster, stronger’ – lyden er blevet større og er skabt til de større scener, som bandet spiller på nu og bevæger sig væk fra den skumle punk-klub lyd, dog uden at gå på kompromis med autencitet eller energi.

Albummet er indspillet i Holy Mountains Studios i London med Idles’ Mark Bowen og Loren Humphrey (Geese, Cameron Winter) i produktions førersædet, der tager Gurriers musikalske kemi og kvikke observationer om verden til nye, bombastiske højder på albummet. Albummet formår at samle alt fra hardcore til trip hop til dance-punk hedonisme under et ny tag,  der markere en modning af Gurriers utøjlige lyd. Tematikken i teksterne er politiske og til tider filosofiske – men Gurriers påstår ikke, at de har svar på tidens store politiske spørgsmål, tværtimod italesætter de tidens kriser, i et album der er rødglødende af aktivisme.

Live lover Gurriers kaotisk vildskab, hvilket København fik at se, da de lagde et udsolgt Huset ned tilbage i 2024. Vi glæder os til at se dem kommandere pitten på Loppen den 28. november.

The unruly Irish punk band Gurriers are back in Copenhagen on 28 November – this time at Loppen, bringing a bigger, bolder sound from their upcoming album ‘Nobodys Coming To Save You’!

With their 2024 debut album Come And See, Gurriers cemented their status as one of the most distinctive and raw forces on the Irish punk scene. Like many bands formed during the Covid pandemic, the group – vocalist Dan Hoff, guitarists Ben O’Neill and Mark MacCormack, and drummer Pierce Callaghan – spent the following years building a reputation on their home turf in Dublin, quickly earning recognition for their notoriously bone-crushing, mosh-pit-inducing live shows. On Come And See, the band also showcased their lyrical talent, exploring social criticism with a focus on digital anxiety and the terror of the modern world.

In the months following the release of Come And See, Gurriers went from strength to strength. They appeared on Jools Holland’s late-night TV show Later… with Jools Holland, played Glastonbury, supported both Turnstile and Kneecap, and toured Europe, now joined on stage by bassist Charlie McCarthy.

Now, the follow-up to Come And See is on its way! Nobodys Coming To Save You will be released on 25 September via Play It Again Sam. According to the band, the album could just as well have been called ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’. Their sound has grown bigger, built for the larger stages they now play, moving away from the murky sound of small punk clubs without compromising on authenticity or energy.

The album was recorded at Holy Mountain Studios in London, with Idles’ Mark Bowen and Loren Humphrey (Geese, Cameron Winter) at the production helm. Together, they take Gurriers’ musical chemistry and sharp observations of the world to new, bombastic heights. Bringing together everything from hardcore and trip-hop to the hedonism of dance-punk under one roof, the album marks a new level of maturity in Gurriers’ unruly sound. The lyrics are political and, at times, philosophical. But Gurriers do not claim to have the answers to today’s major political questions. Instead, they confront the crises of our time in an album that burns with activism.

Live, Gurriers promise chaotic, untamed energy – something Copenhagen witnessed firsthand when they brought the house down at a sold-out Huset back in 2024. We can’t wait to see them take command of the pit at Loppen on 28 November!
