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 Gulls

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.

In a night charged with anticipation and indie rock fervour, London’s Roundhouse venue  played host to a blistering set from The K’s — but it was Essex alt-rock outfit The Bracknall who first lit the fuse. Opening for one of the UK’s fastest-rising live acts is no easy feat, especially at a venue as revered as Camden’s Roundhouse, but The Bracknall delivered a commanding, confident performance that firmly positioned them as serious contenders in Britain’s new wave of guitar bands.
