The new record is announced today (Wednesday May 20) by the Irish alt band, and marks the highly anticipated follow-up to their 2024 debut album ‘Come And See’. It is set for release on September 25 via their new label home, Play It Again Sam. Pre-save/order here.
With the new record, Gurriers lean into the same charm, sharp dynamics and epic production that first put them on the map, and enhance things further with new pounding rhythms and lyrics that strike a balance between frustration with determination.
Today, frontman Dan Hoff and co. share the first taste of the LP in the form of the title track, which gradually grows and develops, until it reaches its fierce climax.
It opens with a melancholic, sinister riff that fades in and out throughout, and is taken to new heights with Hoff’s intense vocal melody that tiptoes towards the explosive, dynamic chorus.
“It’s a song that feels hopeless on its first listen, but if you look at it more deeply it’s a call to action, no one is going to rise up if everyone expects someone else to do it. We all have to do our part in creating the change,” the band shared.
It also captures the same motifs of protest, resistance and personal reflection that the Irish band have become recognised for, and the initially bleak feel seems to evolve into a collective call to action with each listen.
Check it out alongside the new apocalyptic music video, directed by Thomas James (Kneecap, Bring Me The Horizon, Young Fathers), above.
As well as announcing new music, today also sees Gurriers confirm a UK and European headline tour this autumn, which includes shows at London’s Electric Brixton on October 24 and two major Dublin shows at Vicar Street and 3Olympia Theatre.
Dates kick off in October with a show at SWG3 in Glasgow, and continue throughout the month with other stops in Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham and more.
European headline dates run throughout November and December, and support for the shows comes from Enola Gay, Tramhaus, Really Good Time and Child Of Prague.
The gigs take place after a number of festival appearances lined up for this summer, as well as a slot opening for Kneecap at Crystal Palace Park, London in June.

Earlier this month, Gurriers took to the stage at The Great Escape 2026 and were listed among NME’s list of the Top 10 performances from the festival.
“Despite not being an official TGE booking, one of the weekend’s biggest queue scrums comes courtesy of secret act Gurriers, who pop up at the pokey railway arch of Tide Beach Club to debut a clutch of incendiary new tracks from their as-yet-unannounced second LP,” the entry read.
“It’s a moment that’s a reflection of the fringe activity that takes place around the event each year, turning Brighton not just into a festival site, but a whole ecosystem of live performances.”
Last September, the band dropped the single ‘Erasure’ as the first new material since their 2024 debut album.
Before then, the band opened up to NME about how they saw their debut LP as “a statement of intent”. “This is what we want to do,” said guitarist Ben O’Neill. “We’re not fucking around.”
Hoff added: “I always want the album to speak universally. ‘Approachable’ is about the far-right in Ireland but the UK has a massive problem with that as well.”
