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.

Beck Is Transcendent With The BBC Concert Orchestra At The Royal Albert Hall

“I sorta dug through all my songs that had strings on them. Usually how it goes is they kinda just do strings on top of the hits, but these were actually strings on all the records” Beck David Hansen states part way through what is, a truly magical evening of music, departing from the norm and going with his gut, in true Beck style.
