Dublin’s Gurriers today share their insatiable new single, “Party Lines”, the second track to be lifted from their forthcoming album, Nobody’s Coming To Save You, set for release on September 25, 2026 via their new label home, Play It Again Sam. (Pre-save/order HERE).
A dose of dance-punk hedonism, “Party Lines” explores the theme of politicians spending money on aid and provisions for countries on the one hand, whilst trading weapons and waging war on these same countries with the other. Written as the band watched the war in Sudan escalate in horror, the track combines high-energy guitar arrangements with a driving rhythm and propulsive hook, with lyrics critiquing political leadership and widespread social frustration.
Following the release of the album’s fierce and unflinching title track, “Nobody’s Coming To Save You”, which is currently A-Listed at BBC Radio 6 Music, and their recent KEXP live session, “Party Lines” serves as another statement of intent that accelerates the Dublin outfit’s rapid upward trajectory.

Following a couple of years that saw Gurriers graduate from sweat-soaked clubs to festival main stages and arenas, the band announced a run of US tour dates in September 2026, including sets at Riot Fest in Chicago and Levitation Fest in Austin. This third visit to the US sees them return to Austin for the first time since their breakout sets last at SXSW in 2025 and more recently follows their visit in March this year where they sold out rooms in LA, NY, DC, Philly, Toronto and Chicago.
Tickets for the US tour are on sale here.
Formed during the pandemic, Gurriers quickly built a reputation for bone-rattling, mosh-ready live shows and sharp, socially conscious songwriting. Since their debut’s release, the milestones have continued to stack up: a standout appearance on Later… with Jools Holland, main stage performances across Glastonbury’s Woodsies and Leftfield stages, and arena support slots with Turnstile and Kneecap.
Recorded between Donegal’s Attica Studios and Holy Mountain Studios in London, Nobody’s Coming To Save You was produced by Mark Bowen (Idles) and Loren Humphrey (Geese, Cameron Winter), alongside engineer Chris Fullard (Idles, Sunn O)))) and mixed by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Modest Mouse, Swans). The album captures Gurriers scaling up every element that made their debut so compelling – sharper dynamics, towering production and an even more urgent worldview.
On Nobody’s Coming To Save You, Gurriers channel the spirit of protest, resistance and personal reflection into some of their most ambitious material to date. This is Gurriers taking all the musical chemistry and smart, interrogational worldview that made them great in the first place, and souping it up to the next level. From the rattling tension of the title track’s opening moments, to slow-burning intensity and dance-punk hedonism, giving way to a cacophonous, cathartic climax, Nobody’s Coming To Save You takes this spirit of the sweaty basement venue and turns it stadium-sized. It’s not just loud, but dynamic.
