Gurriers have moved fast from “new band to watch” to “band with something to answer for.” The Dublin five-piece announced their second album, Nobody’s Coming To Save You, due September 25 via Play It Again Sam, and released its title track with a Thomas James-directed video.
The timing is sharp. Come And See introduced Gurriers as a band that could make post-punk agitation feel both blunt and wired, less interested in cool detachment than in pressure. Dork reports that the new album was recorded between Attica Studios in Donegal and Holy Mountain Studios in London, produced by Mark Bowen and Loren Humphrey, engineered by Chris Fullard, and mixed by John Congleton.
The title track does not soften the angle. NME quotes the band describing it as “a song that feels hopeless on its first listen,” before adding that the deeper point is collective responsibility: “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.” That is very much Gurriers’ lane: political frustration presented as a physical problem, something the guitars have to shove their way through.
Nobody’s Coming To Save You runs 10 tracks: “Nobody’s Coming To Save You,” “Party Lines,” “Shades,” “Pins,” “Today Is Not Enough,” “Drones,” “Nothing Happens Twice,” “Waiting For Fisher,” “I Wish I Was,” and “Crybaby.” The album follows the 2025 single “Erasure,” which arrived after the band’s 2024 debut.
Gurriers also announced a substantial autumn headline run. The headline portion begins October 14 at SWG3 in Glasgow and currently runs through December 9 at Paradiso in Amsterdam, with support split among Tramhaus, Enola Gay, Really Good Time, and Child Of Prague.

There are easier ways for a young guitar band to chase momentum than doubling down on tension, but Gurriers sound better when they make the room smaller and the stakes uglier. Nobody’s Coming To Save You has the makings of a useful second-album test: whether the chaos can get more focused without getting polite.
