Gurriers are a post punk five-piece, emerging from the thriving Irish scene, and leaving a strong impression with their debut single release, Approachable. Although its title shouldn't be taken too literally when it comes to the band's sound and creative approach, the harshness and raging qualities of their songwriting can be rather winsome.
About the single, lead singer Dan Hoff comments: “Approachable is a tongue in cheek anthem about the rising far right rhetoric all over the world.”
With sharp guitars, loud vocals, and an overall sense of genuine post punk angst, Approachable is a heavy, crushing blow carried by a ferocious chorus and forceful verse marked by the line 'I was born in the wrong era,' expressing the band's vitriolic glimpse at modern society.
Approachable, which was produced by Chris Ryan (Just Mustard, Enola Gay, NewDad), seems to mark the beginning of a strong, new force in British post punk.
