About
Gilla Band are an Irish post-punk and noise rock quartet from Dublin, formed in 2011 under the name Girl Band and renamed in November 2021. The band - vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox and drummer Adam Faulkner - built their reputation on abrasive, experimental guitar music that blends noise rock, no-wave and techno-influenced rhythms. Their 2015 debut Holding Hands with Jamie earned widespread critical acclaim, and their fourth album Pugnello is due on Rough Trade Records in September 2026.
