Gurriers announce Nobody’s Coming To Save You and sharpen their political post-punk edge

Irish band Gurriers have announced their second album Nobody’s Coming To Save You, due 25 September via Play It Again Sam, and the news remains a strong post-punk item for 26 May. The title track has already arrived, and the band’s own framing is interesting: they insist they are a band, not a political party, while still clearly making music that reflects anger, pressure and social frustration.

That tension has always powered the best post-punk. It is not about writing policy documents with guitars. It is about turning the feeling of being lied to, exhausted and pushed around into rhythm, noise and a vocal that sounds like it might kick a door off its hinges. The new album was recorded between Attica Studios in Donegal and Holy Mountain Studios in London, produced by Mark Bowen of Idles and Loren Humphrey, with John Congleton mixing.

That production chain suggests a record with serious physical presence: guitars, drums, paranoia, repetition and maybe just enough space for dread to stretch out. The album will be followed by UK and European tour dates, including shows in Glasgow, Manchester, London, Dublin, Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam. For a 26 May digest, Gurriers bring the necessary abrasive edge: not comfort music, but a warning siren with a rhythm section.
