Gilla Band

Gilla Band, hailing from Ireland and formerly known as Girl Band, operate at the cutting edge of industrial and no wave music. With a reputation for thrilling live shows and uncompromising sound design, the group have become a significant force within avant-garde rock circles since their formation in 2011. Their output channels abrasive textures and pulsing rhythms, offering a distinct approach to experimental music that garners critical respect among discerning audiences.

The band’s discography is marked by constant evolution, as seen in significant releases like their 2022 album "Most Normal" and the raw, electrifying live document "Live at Vicar Street". Notably, Gilla Band continue to push boundaries with new material: the album "Pugnello" and the single "Giraffe", both set for release in 2026, promise further bold explorations into industrial and no wave territory. Their recorded works—including tracks like "Aibohphobia", "Alogia", and "Amygdala"—showcase the band’s distinctive command over sonic experimentation.

In recent live activity, Gilla Band appeared as a support act for Starsailor across several prominent venues, including The Academy in Dublin and notable stages in Manchester, London, and Bristol throughout late 2025. Their presence alongside established acts reaffirms their influence and versatility in the live music scene.
