Dublin's Gilla Band have spent over a decade relentlessly pushing the boundaries of what rock music can be, and Pugnello — their fourth full-length album — finds the quartet at their most focused and ferocious. Released in 2026 on Rough Trade, the record is a self-produced statement from vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner, a band that has long influenced a generation of forward-thinking guitar acts without ever settling into a predictable sound.
What may initially register as chaos is, on closer listen, the result of meticulous layering and sonic manipulation — smudging the lines between post-punk, noise, no wave, industrial, and techno with surgical precision. Across 42 minutes, Pugnello confronts listeners with music that resists easy comparison, touching on weighty themes including mental health while oscillating between crushing repetition, deafening volume, and moments of startling clarity. It is the sound of a band sharpening their craft and going in for the kill.
