GURRIERS
About
As the end of the first quarter of the 21st century inches ever closer, our planet precariously teeters from one crisis to the next. Rather than passively sit back and watch, the high-energy Irish guitar quintet Gurriers are firing on all cylinders and confronting the ills of the modern world on their debut album, Come and See, a truly thrilling collection of razor-sharp progressive punk songs.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Dublin’s Gurriers land in San Francisco just in time for St. Patrick’s Day season, wielding a ferocious blend of punk and shoegaze as a tool against the machine. Their debut album Come and See, released in 2024, is a snarling dispatch from the political edge, raging against digital numbness and rising fascism with more than a hint of disillusioned youth. Think Fontaines DC with an Anthropocene update, or: the positive externalities of the indie sleaze revival.
