Gurriers Featured on NME Cover Ahead of New Album

Irish punk band Gurriers are featured on NME's The Cover section this week ahead of the release of their new album titled Nobody’s Coming To Save You. The written profile for the band was authored by NME news editor Andrew Trendell, while the accompanying photographs were captured by Joseph Bishop on location in Manchester. Every year, NME prepares 50 Cover cover stories with the specific goal of promoting emerging artists.

In addition to the feature story, Gurriers released a special curated playlist titled Favourite Film Songs. The published list includes songs by a variety of artists, such as Elliott Smith, Dead Kennedys, Wolf Alice, U2, and Sufjan Stevens.

In the cover story, members of the group provided background on their name and details about their forthcoming project. Guitarist Mark MacCormack explained that the word gurriers has negative origins and serves as a synonym for a scamp or a bully. Looking ahead to the new release, lead singer Dan Hoff stated that dreams, decay, and desire are positioned at the center of their upcoming album.
