Dublin’s Gurriers return with the announcement of their second album, Nobody’s Coming To Save You, released on 25 September 2026 via their new label home, Play It Again Sam. Alongside the announcement, the band today share the album’s fierce and unflinching title track and accompanying video, ‘Nobody’s Coming To Save You’, ahead of an extensive UK and European headline tour this autumn.
Premiered by BBC Radio 6 Music, the new single arrives as Gurriers continue their rapid ascent following the release of their acclaimed 2024 debut album, Come And See, which cemented them as one of the most vital new voices emerging from Ireland’s thriving alternative scene.
Recorded between Donegal’s Attica Studios and Holy Mountain Studios in London, Nobody’s Coming To Save You was produced by Mark Bowen (Idles) and Loren Humphrey (Geese, Cameron Winter), alongside engineer Chris Fullard (Idles, Sunn O)))) and mixed by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Modest Mouse, Swans). The album captures Gurriers scaling up every element that made their debut so compelling – sharper dynamics, towering production and an even more urgent worldview.
Driven by pounding rhythms, jagged guitars and a vocal delivery balancing frustration with determination, the title track encapsulates that evolution perfectly. Speaking about the single the band, comprised of Dan Hoff on vocals, Ben O’Neill on guitar, Mark MacCormack on guitar, Pierce Callaghan on drums and Charlie McCarthy on bass, explain:
“It’s a song that feels hopeless on its first listen, but if you look at it more deeply it’s a call to action, no one is going to rise up if everyone expects someone else to do it. We all have to do our part in creating the change.”
The track reflects Gurriers’ ability to transform disillusionment into momentum. What initially feels bleak gradually reveals itself as something more galvanising: a reminder that meaningful change requires collective action rather than passive expectation. The track started life in response to a particularly irksome review that criticised the band for “saying so many political things buth having no answers”.
“We’re a band, we’re not a political party! So I used a Vonnegut quote, and one from [American writer and activist] Rebecca Solnit – ‘Hope is an axe you can break down doors with’ – because I don’t have the answers, but these two people might?”
On Nobody’s Coming To Save You, Gurriers channel the spirit of protest, resistance and personal reflection into some of their most ambitious material to date. 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, to slow-burning intensity and dance-punk hedonism, giving 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.
The video was directed by Thomas James (Kneecap, Bring Me The Horizon, Young Fathers). Set in a post-apocalyptic future and weaving in a visceral, psychedelic performance from the band, the accompanying cinematic film is equal parts music video and psychological, horror short.
The band also today announce an extensive UK and European headline tour this autumn, including London’s Electric Brixton on 24 October and two major Dublin shows at Vicar Street and 3Olympia Theatre. Supporting the band on the tour each night will be one of Enola Gay, Tramhaus, Really Good Time or Child Of Prague.
Tickets for UK/EU Autumn tour are on sale from 10am local time on Friday 22 May.
The band will also perform at a run of festivals this summer including a show as special guests of Kneecap in Crystal Palace Park, London in June. See the full tour routing below, which also includes details on the support for each date of the tour October through December.
