One of the best bands in Ireland currently, Dublin-based Gurriers strike while the iron’s hot with their latest single ‘Erasure’. 

Much like the rest of their discography, including ‘Dipping Out’ and ‘Come And See’, their new, stunning single firmly cements them as ones to follow in the post-punk scene.

'Erasure' perfectly encapsulates the messy chaos that’s at the heart of punk. It’s an unpolished yet charming track, infused with Dan Hoff’s distinctive vocals and pounding guitars.

Making for an addictive listen, it truly sets the band miles apart from their fellow musicians. The whole track is a fast-paced delight for your ears with the slightly glitchy beginning immediately hooking you in and setting the tone for the rest of the tune. Though not necessarily quiet, it does calm down slightly near the middle, where the smooth, growling bass has its moment to shine, carrying the song to new heights. ‘Erasure’ then gradually rebuilds its energy before it once again explodes as a total treat for your headphones (where this song should be blasted from).

Truly sticking it to the man, the Irish quintet has once again pushed the boundaries of what’s been expected from them to the limits. The band has confidently crafted their sound, as proven with this firecracker of a single, and leaves me excited to see where they head next.
