The band finally dropped the song and announced the album today (20th May 2026).

It marks the first new music the band has released since the 2025 song 'Erasure', and 'Nobody's Coming To Save You' follows the band's 2024 debut album 'Come and See'.

Speaking about the single, the band shares, "It's a song that feels hopeless on its first listen, but if you look at it more deeply, it's a call to action. No one is going to rise if everyone expects someone else to do it. We all have to do our part in creating the change.

The album was recorded between Attica Studios in Donegal and Holy Mountain Studios in London, and produced by Mark Bowen (Idles) and Loren Humphrey (Geese, Cameron Winter) alongside engineer Chris Fullard (Idles, Sunn O), with John Congleton (St. Vincent, Modest Mouse, Swans) on mixing.

With the new record, Gurriers lean into the same charm, sharp dynamics and epic production that first put them on the map, and enhance things further with new pounding rhythms and lyrics that strike a balance between frustration and determination. It also captures the same motifs of protest, resistance and personal reflection that the Irish band have become recognised for, and the initially bleak feel seems to evolve into a collective call to action with each listen.

It's a song that captures listeners straight away, both sonically and lyrically. The guitars snarl, and the drum beat is almost military-like; it's constant and pounding. As an opening statement for chapter two, it's brilliant. The Irish are making some of the best records in the world right now, and Gurriers are right up there with the best. 

In an interview with the NME around the release of their debut, they said: "The debut album is a statement of intent – we’re not fucking around”. 

Both of those statements were true, and they've kept the second one at the forefront of this song; they really aren't fucking around. I'm excited to hear the rest of the record. If it's as good as their debut, we could be looking at Ireland's next great band.

The band heads out on a huge UK, Ireland and European tour in the winter.  Support for the shows comes from Enola Gay, Tramhaus, Really Good Time and Child Of Prague.

The gigs take place after a number of festival appearances lined up for this summer, as well as a slot opening for Kneecap at Crystal Palace Park, London, in June.

I can see some of the venues on that tour getting upgraded. The band are on quite a run, and this single proves that they are only getting better.
