Gurriers (Grayce Leonard)

Recorded in Leeds at The Nave Studios with Alex Greaves, Come and See is a truly thrilling collection of razor-sharp progressive punk songs full of furious sucker punches. Firing on all cylinders, Gurriers present a searing counterattack on the malaise of the modern age.

To coincide with the announcement, Gurriers have shared new song Close Call, the follow-up to the BBC Radio 6 Music A-Listed, Des Goblin. A visceral, though sympathetic, powerful song about the challenges faced by the forgotten and bored youth of Dublin, Close Call turns up the ferocious guitar intensity to eleven, a fierce hybrid of guitar pop with industrial techno sensibilities.

About the album, Gurriers said: “The album is a noisy, guitar driven odyssey of our disillusionment with the modern world”. Check out the Close Call visualiser below:

Gurriers have also announced an extensive UK and European tour for October and November 2024. The tour includes six new shows in Ireland with a Dublin show at Whelans on 26th November as well as six dates across the UK including a London show at the Moth Club on 6th November.

Britainicana Is Louder That Americana: Westside Cowboy Stampede Through Portsmouth

Manchester-based quartet Westside Cowboy have only been together since 2023, but have already caused a stir. They have even coined a genre of their own – Britainicana. Even though the name suggests US country with a miserable and sarcastic British twist, they have created something much more fun.

Lacuna Coil @ Stylus, Leeds (John Hayhurst)

Midweek Metal Mass: Lacuna Coil Blaze Through Leeds Stylus

Italian goth heavyweights Lacuna Coil turn Tuesday into a blackout ritual at Leeds Stylus, backed by a fired-up opening assault from Florida bruisers Nonpoint.

Nonpoint hit the stage like they’ve been itching for it all day. Elias Soriano stalks the mic with clipped precision, spitting hooks and commands in equal measure. Robb Rivera goes straight for the gut behind the kit, while Adam Woloszyn grinds out bass lines with industrial weight. Guitarist’s Jaysin Zeilstra and Rasheed Thomas add bite and distortion, feeding the noise without ever tipping it into clutter. The band sound more drilled-in than on their last UK run — tighter, sharper, still proudly abrasive.
