Dublin post-punk rockers Gurriers follow up 2024’s debut ‘Come and See’ with the powerfully titled ‘Nobody’s Coming to Save You’ (out on 25 September, 2026).

The title track kicks off the album with demanding vocals and wiry post-punk guitars while the lyrics discuss medication and ruminations. This is followed by a spoken-word news report sample at the beginning of ‘Party Lines’: ‘The Third World is not poor, you don’t go to poor countries to make money’. It’s vicious and volatile but vital, especially when the band chant ‘Alive! Alive! Alive!’ amidst a sea of noise and confusion. ‘Shades’ moves into the Jesus and Mary Chain space with effect-laden atmospherics before ‘Pins’ heads back into the more melodic sound from the start of the album, complete with a heartbreaking call: ‘I want it, I need it, your love is everything’.

‘Today Is Not Enough’ sounds like a warning during the end of the world, mixing futuristic synth sounds with an ear-splittering industrial edge, while ‘Drones’ – the longest song on the record – provides a stark warning amidst layers of feedback: ‘I wish I knew’. ‘Nothing Happens Twice’ is firmly in the Kneecap area as the band talk about desires that have been taken away (‘I wanted education’) amidst rave sounds, while ‘Waiting for Fisher’ is altogether more fuzzy and scuzzy.

‘I Wish I Was’ provides the calm after the storm with its post-rock tendencies, while ‘Crybaby’ finishes the record with a dirty bass sound, anthemic flourishes and a rally against mistakes and untruths: ‘These eyes follow you around the room’. Nobody may be coming to save them, but you’re sure to savour this latest record from Gurriers.
