Formed on the cusp of a global pandemic, Dublin’s newest alternative addition, Gurriers, embody the emerging Irish genres of post-punk, noise rock and shoegaze. Made up of five best friends, roommates and co-workers Dan Hoff, Emmet White, Ben O’Neill, Mark MacCormack and Pierce Callaghan, each louder than the last.

Individually, playing music while growing up is the common factor that gives Gurriers their edge. With a new year ahead, all focus is on menacing releases and equally turbulent live performances.
