The Gulls Drop New Single Life Goes On To Kick Off A Break Out Year

by | Jan 25, 2025

The Gulls are a band we really love here at RockShot; and it’s not just for their music, an electrifying blend of rock, funk, minstrel folk, and psychedelia. We also love their ethos.

The band (Will Fairhead, bass and vocals/Kilian Aubertin, guitar/Tali Knight, drums) live permanently on the road and are known for their stunt performances. If you happen to be strolling down Camden High Street and a rock ‘n’ roll band drives past on an open sided trailer, there’s a better than average chance it’s The Gulls.

If you’re at Stonehenge and/or Glastonbury Tor on the solstice and a rock ‘n’ roll band turns up for an impromptu gig, there’s a better than average chance it’s The Gulls.

But what we really love about the band is their annual Robin Hood Tour performing free open-air gigs in iconic places to raise money for The Trussell Trust (UK food banks).

The Gulls have just released their newest single, Life Goes On. Written during a challenging winter, the song serves as a resilient anthem, reminding listeners to keep pushing forward. It’s both a message of hope and a call to fuel dreams, no matter the obstacles.

Last year, the band played major UK festivals (Boomtown, Victorious, Beautiful Days), joined Kula Shaker on tour, and headlined their own sold-out UK & Ireland tour.

2025 looks to be a breakout year for The Gulls. There is an upcoming album, Lavender and Tobacco, set to be released on vinyl in April, a UK and Ireland tour planned with the Buena Vista Orchestra, plus plans for an American tour with SSK Records.

Seb Lowe @ Roundhouse (Kalpesh Patel)

Seb Lowe Brings Fire, Fury And Folk-Punk Spirit To Sofia Isella’s Roundhouse Crowd

Opening for Sofia Isella at London’s Roundhouse, Seb Lowe wastes no time making an impression. Walking onto the stage armed with only an acoustic guitar and accompanied by violinist and backing vocalist Kate Couriel, the Sheffield singer-songwriter delivers a powerful 30-minute set that feels far bigger than its stripped-back format suggests.

Interpol (Elliot Lee Hazel)

Marking their first full-length release in four years and their debut for the influential independent label, the album arrives alongside two striking new tracks, the atmospheric title song and the driving See Out Loud.

Simon Le Bon & John Taylor of Duran Duran @ The O2 (Kalpesh Patel)

Duran Duran’s return to London’s BST Hyde Park just got even bigger, with organisers unveiling the full supporting line-up for the iconic British band’s headline performance on Sunday 5th July 2026.

Sofia Isella @ Roundhouse (Kalpesh Patel)

Sofia Isella Captivates London’s Roundhouse On Emotional Tour Finale

Sofia Isella arrives at the Roundhouse like a storm she can barely contain. Emerging from the shadows, backed by ominous electronic textures and silhouettes, she immediately cuts a striking figure. She paces furiously across the stage, hair hanging over her face, constantly tugging at her oversized clothes as though caught between wanting to tear them off and feeling trapped inside them. Her fingers are haphazardly bound with elastic bands, while her face and arms are purposely dirtied. It’s uncomfortable, theatrical and utterly compelling.
