Camden-based five-piece The Gulps are back in fine form today as they drop brand-new single “Surrender” under the Guindilla banner and produced by Ash frontman, Tim Wheeler at Livingston Studios in London.
The new track thrives with energy, boasting feedback-fried guitars, heart-stopping rhythmic clatter and an intimate meditation on first loves and the fragility of youth.
Commenting on this intimate new track, frontman Javier Sola said, “A moment of uncertainty and internal rebellion in which resistance to the present moment, to the now, no longer makes sense. The only thing left is to join eternity, an infinite youth that knows no quantifiable age. Like the Steppenwolf we live in an internal battle in which we neither win nor lose, we only suffer until the moment we accept it and let the current carry us gently into the portal of not perishing. In the midst of the storm the surrender to the present without resistance leads to eternal youth, a youth that disregards quantifiable age in material form but rather the spirit that never perishes, eternity. We are made of light and darkness, of mud and diamonds, of laughter and tears. Accept them, surrender without resistance and fly free.”
Currently based in Camden, The Gulps’ notorious live shows led to them becoming the last signing of the legendary Steve Strange to X Ray Touring, before his death. They are also currently managed by Creation Records legend Alan McGee (Oasis / Primal Scream).
Having supported the likes of Ash, Cast, Skinner Brothers, Carl Barat and Keir on the road, the band completed a SOLD OUT national tour of Spain last year, followed by a rave-received UK tour earlier in 2023. We’re told that news of further UK dates is right around the corner.
