Gilla Band
Dublin noise band, formerly Girl Band, whose guitars barely sound like guitars: industrial screech, drum-machine-tight rhythm and Dara Kiley's frayed yelp.

About Gilla Band
Gilla Band formed in Dublin in 2011 and recorded under the name Girl Band until changing it in 2021. The lineup is Dara Kiley on vocals, Alan Duggan on guitar, Daniel Fox on bass and Adam Faulkner on drums. Their reputation grew from early singles including a cover of Blawan's techno track "Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?", rebuilt for guitars and drums.
Rough Trade released their albums Holding Hands with Jamie, The Talkies and Most Normal. The songs borrow repetition and pressure from techno and noise, with Duggan's guitar treated through pedals until it sounds like machinery, while Kiley's lyrics circle around anxiety, absurd domestic detail and bodily discomfort.
