English Teacher
On the epic centrepiece to English Teacher’s debut album, Lily Fontaine laments that not every-body gets to go to space. “You’re too busy here,” she points out. “How could you fit it in?” The Leeds four-piece certainly have had a hectic couple of years, with a burgeoning fanbase watching and listening to them refine their sound in real time, and now, at the end of it, their sprawling, stir-ring first full-length caps an hugely impressive rise for the group.
The seeds of the band were sown in 2018, when Fontaine met the rest of the members at the Leeds Conservatoire, where they were all students. Lewis Whiting plays guitar, Nicholas Eden is on bass, and Douglas Frost drums; Fontaine, meanwhile, sings, alternates between guitar and piano, and pairs the group’s consistently adventurous compositions with lyrics at one aching and abstract, scored through with northern wit.

Gurriers
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, the high-energy Irish guitar quintet Gurriers are firing on all cylinders and confronting the ills of the modern world on their debut album, Come and See, a truly thrilling collection of razor-sharp progressive punk songs.
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.
Gurriers' first album is no ordinary debut, but an exhilarating statement of intent by five people fed up with tiptoeing politely around the chaos. Come and see for yourself.
“It’s impossible to overstate how impressive this album is. It’s not impressive for a debut; it’s not impressive for a punk album; it’s just impressive. It’s unambiguous, it’s unapologetic, it’s quite frankly unbelievable.” 5/5 Dork Magazine
“At Simple Things in Bristol Gurriers riotous art-punk threatens to collapse the venue’s bouncy floor“
5/5 NME -
