Dublin’s Gurriers today share their insatiable new single ‘Party Lines‘, the second track to be lifted from their forthcoming album, Nobody’s Coming To Save You, set for release on 25 September via their new label home, Play It Again Sam. A dose of dance-punk hedonism, ‘Party Lines’ explores the theme of politicians spending money on aid and provisions for countries on the one hand, whilst trading weapons and waging war on these same countries with the other. Written as the band watched the war in Sudan escalate in horror, the track combines high-energy guitar arrangements with a driving rhythm and propulsive hook, with lyrics critiquing political leadership and widespread social frustration. ‘Party Lines’ serves as another statement of intent that accelerates the Dublin outfit’s rapid upward trajectory. The new single is accompanied by a video directed by Thomas James (Kneecap, Bring Me The Horizon, Young Fathers).
Following a couple of years that saw Gurriers graduate from sweat-soaked clubs to festival main stages and arenas, the band announced 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. The band will also perform at a run of festivals this summer, fresh from their recent show as special guests of Kneecap in Crystal Palace Park, London.
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.
Formed during the pandemic, Gurriers quickly built a reputation for bone-rattling, mosh-ready live shows and sharp, socially conscious songwriting. Since their debut’s release, the milestones have continued to stack up: a standout appearance on Later… with Jools Holland, main stage performances across Glastonbury’s Woodsies and Leftfield stages, and arena support slots with Turnstile and Kneecap.
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.
