Gurriers Bring Nobody’s Coming to Save You to Portugal

Irish band Gurriers will return to Portugal in November 2026 for two concerts presenting their second album, Nobody’s Coming to Save You. The Dublin-based group will perform at Casa Capitão in Lisbon on November 6, followed by a concert at M.Ou.Co. in Porto on November 7. Fellow Irish band Really Good Time will join them.

Released on September 25 through Play It Again Sam, Nobody’s Coming to Save You follows the band’s debut album, Come and See, released in 2024. The new record builds on Gurriers’ combination of post-punk, punk and noise rock, retaining the abrasive guitars and driving rhythms that have become central to their sound while expanding their approach to dynamics and production.

The album’s title track establishes its central tension between frustration and determination. Its gradual development moves from a restrained, ominous opening towards a more forceful conclusion, reflecting the record’s wider interest in social discontent, resistance and personal responsibility.

These themes continue Gurriers’ engagement with contemporary social and political concerns. Rather than treating frustration as an endpoint, the band frames it as a starting point for action, giving the album a perspective that extends beyond the intensity of its musical arrangements.

Their debut, Come and See, established Gurriers as part of a new generation of Irish alternative bands working across post-punk and noise rock. The group combines angular guitar work, tightly driven percussion and urgent vocals, with arrangements that move between controlled tension and more abrasive passages. Their sound shares some territory with acts such as Gilla Band and Fontaines D.C., while maintaining a distinct emphasis on noise and physical intensity.

The new album continues that development across ten tracks, including “Party Lines”, “Shades”, “Pins”, “Today Is Not Enough” and “Erasure”. The latter had already offered an indication of the band’s direction following their debut, while the full record provides a broader view of their evolving songwriting.

Really Good Time will accompany Gurriers for the Lisbon concert. Also originating from Ireland’s alternative scene, the band adds another perspective to an evening centred on contemporary guitar-driven music.

The two Portuguese dates offer audiences an opportunity to hear Gurriers’ new material alongside the work that established their reputation. With Nobody’s Coming to Save You, the band continues to develop its sound while retaining the urgency and abrasive character that defined Come and See.
