Irish band Gurriers offer sharp and progressive punk songs that take a stand against the ills of the modern world. In just five years, members Dan Hoff (vocals), Ben O’Neill (guitar/vocals), Mark MacCormack (guitar), Charlie McCarthy (bass), and Pierce O’Callaghan (drums) have played at festivals such as Mad Cool, Pukkelpop, London Calling, Pitchfork Music Festival London, and The Great Escape.
For their debut album Come And See (2024), they drew inspiration from bands such as The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Chemical Brothers, and Black Midi. It is not a typical debut, but an exciting collection of songs. British Rolling Stone wrote about the album: “Anger and catharsis drive Come And See, a punk album bursting with energy and discontent, but determined to break through.”
