JOE’s Song Of The Day #726 – Gorilla Troubadour ‘Tom Cruise Does All His Own Stunts’

Eric Lalor

Gorilla Troubadour

Gorilla Troubadour are back with their second single.

Following the release of their debut single ‘The Apple Truck’ and an ensuing tour around Ireland, Gorilla Troubadour have made a name for themselves as gritty rockers, combining powerful riffs and ear catching hooks.

Gorilla Troubadour are a Dublin-based alternative/rock band consisting of Dylan Kearns, Eamon Ganley, Eric Walsh and James O’Connor. They’ve only been together since January 2017 so have made big strides in a short space of time.

The new track kicks off with a rasping bass-line and doesn’t let go. There’s a little bit of Arctic Monkeys in the sound – not a bad thing at all – and it marks them out as a young band to keep an eye on in the coming years.

Gorilla Troubadour play Whelan’s in Dublin on 19 February and more gigs are planned around the country. To see where the lads are playing, check out their Facebook page right here.
