Gurriers draw Party Lines through war, hypocrisy and guitar-driven frustration

Gurriers’ Party Lines arrives on 1 July with a title that looks like social chatter until the guitars make the politics impossible to ignore. The Dublin outfit’s latest single from Nobody’s Coming To Save You follows the title track and takes aim at the hypocrisy of politicians funding aid for countries in need while also trading weapons and waging war on those same nations. The band wrote the song after seeing the war in Sudan escalate, and that frustration apparently pulses through energetic guitar arrangements and lyrics heavy with critique. This is the kind of dance-punk that remembers dancing does not have to mean disengagement. A beat can carry anger. A chorus can accuse. A sharp guitar figure can make the news feel less distant and more bodily. Gurriers sound like they are not just reporting despair. They are turning it into force.
