GURRIERS

In the organizer's words:

The fact that Gurriers can still be described as newcomers is actually only due to the fact that the relatively young band from Ireland only released their debut album last year. With more than 2 million streams on Spotify, the single "Top Of The Bill" on the album has long been considered a breakthrough track and made the band's indie and punk-heavy rock sound known far beyond Ireland's borders. Following the release of their highly acclaimed debut album "Come And See" in September 2024, the band has already toured the UK and Europe, wowing audiences with their energetic live shows. In December 2025, Gurriers will return to mainland Europe on their European Tour 2025, where they will perform in an intimate club setting in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne and Heidelberg - with special guest Theatre from Limerick. Gurriers formed in Dublin in early 2020, before the world was temporarily shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Driven by a certain anger towards issues such as racism and social injustice in their home country, singer Dan Hoff, drummer Pierce O'Callaghan, bassist Emmet White and the two guitarists Ben O'Neill and Mark MacCormack agreed to channel their feelings into a sound with Gurriers. It is obvious that the outcome is politically charged. Gurriers finally debuted live in 2021 and transferred their energetic sound to the stage. After the first singles from 2022, it was the tracks "Sign Of The Times" and "Nausea" that were crowned with their first major successes in 2023. The sound of the songs: dark, powerful, rocking. Gurriers' style: peppered with influences from noise, garage rock, alternative and post-punk and anything but straightforward. The successful single "Des Goblin" at the beginning of 2024 also made this clear and continued the triumph that had previously begun with the two singles "Approachable" and "Top Of The Bill". The album "Come And See" finally presented eleven songs that showcase Gurriers' style in all its versatility and was more than aptly described by Visions magazine as a "post-punk roller with (...) an uneasy mood". Gurriers' omnipresent raw energy proves that their music is a special experience, especially live, and has long since turned the band's initial spark into a passionately blazing wildfire.
