Gurriers bring their debut album Come and See to Lisbon, a noisy reflection on modern unease featuring songs like “Des Goblin” and “Dipping Out”. The show takes place at Casa Capitão with no reserved seats, so arriving early is advised for a good spot.

As the end of the first quarter of the 21st century approaches, our planet teeters precariously from one crisis to another. Instead of passively watching, Gurriers are launching a fierce counterattack against the malaise of the modern age with a future album of noisy reflection, Come and See. Come and See explores many themes, whether it’s the end of the world, Dublin’s disadvantaged youth, emigrant friends, the rise of the far right, desensitisation to violence, a pope struggling with faith and love, among other things. With songs that observe how modern narcissism is fuelled by addiction to online personas (“Des Goblin”), about the disillusionment of contemporary youth (“Dipping Out”) and ironic anthems lamenting the rise of the far right (“Approachable”), Come and See is not an ordinary debut album, but an electrifying statement of intent from five people tired of tiptoeing around chaos. “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 simply impressive. It’s unequivocal, unapologetic, frankly unbelievable.” 5/5, Dork Magazine. There are no seated or assigned places at Casa Capitão concerts. To guarantee a good position in front of the stage, it’s best to arrive early. And be ready to spend an hour or two standing.
