Gurriers

Taking their name from an antiquated and somewhat charming Irish term for lout, ruffian, or street urchin, Gurriers are Dan Hoff on lead vocals, Ben O'Neill on guitar and backing vocals, Mark MacCormack on guitar, Pierce Callaghan on drums and Charlie McCarthy on bass and backing vocals.

Released in 2024 to widespread acclaim, Gurriers’ debut album, Come and See, showcased a searing counterattack on the malaise of the modern age. 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, Gurriers met this moment head-on with an album of raucous reflection, uncompromising in both sound and sentiment.

Come and See explored a wide spectrum of urgent themes: the end of the world, the disenfranchised youth of Dublin, emigrant friends, the rise of the far right, desensitisation to violence, a pope struggling with belief, and love in uncertain times.

Since the release of Come and See, Gurriers have completed two sold-out tours across the UK, Ireland and much of Europe, including a landmark night at London’s Scala. The band has continued to make their mark on the live circuit, drawing huge crowds at major festivals such as All Together Now and Beyond The Pale in Ireland, Glastonbury, Truck, and most recently, Green Man in the UK as well as Rock Werchter, Down The Rabbit Hole, Haldern Pop and Paredes de Coura in Belgium, Holland, Germany and Portugal respectively.

They are currently working on the follow up to their debut album and have extensive touring plans throughout 2026 including supporting Kneecap at their outdoor show in London in June.
