Paradiso Indiestad presents: Gurriers + POM

Main – Gurriers:

Met slechts een paar uitgebrachte singles op zak is Gurriers al één van de grotere nieuwe beloftes uit de Ierse post-punkscene. De band werd opgericht in 2021 door vrienden en huisgenoten Dan Hoff, Ben O’Neill, Mark MacCormack, Pierce Callaghan en Charlie McCarthy. Met een geluid dat een intense combinatie van punk, noise en shoegaze vormt, maakt de band onstuimige nummers over onderwerpen als klimaatverandering, oorlog en identiteit. Zo zet zanger Dan Hoff in hun nieuwste nummer, genaamd ‘Des Goblin’, hedendaagse zelfobsessie in het licht van dreigende vernietiging als gevolg van deze onderwerpen. Met de bijbehorende videoclip, geregisseerd door één van de gitaristen van de band, schetst Gurriers een soort koortsdroom die het einde van de wereld voorspelt.

Excerpt from Spotify:

“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 are launching a searing counterattack on the malaise of the modern age with a forthcoming album of raucous reflection, Come and See. Come and See explores many themes, be they 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 amongst other things. With songs noting how modern narcissism is fuelled by an addiction to online personas (“Des Goblin”), about the disillusionment of contemporary youth (“Dipping Out”), and tongue-in-cheek anthems mourning the rise of the far right (“Approachable”), Come and See is no ordinary debut, but an exhilarating statement of intent by five people fed up with tiptoeing politely around the chaos.

Come and See is released 13th September 2024“.

Support – POM:

POM proves that raw music can be perfectly combined with a cheerful, energetic atmosphere. The band from Amsterdam takes inspiration from Britpop, punk and garage rock and creates their own sound, best described as fuzzpop. POM showcases multiple daring combinations in both their bouncing live shows and in the studio. For example, the contrasting themes of recognizable situations from everyday life to absurd fantasy in both sound and text present on POM’s first EP ‘Lately’. Their first album is on its way and describes the path to adulthood and the search for one’s own identity in a playful way.
