Works faster than caffeine

Irish noise bohemians GILLA BAND are coming closer
to the release date of their 3rd longplayer Most Normal,
out on 7th October. Pre-order info here.
So far we got to tremendous tasters with
Backwash and Eight Fivers.
And here comes number three. A happy birthday
song for a friend, called Post Ryan.
Dara Kiely (frontman): “Our friend Ryan turned 30 during lockdown and we were asked
by his mates to make a track for his birthday, We wrote and recorded ‘Happy Birthday
Ryan’. Right after that we came up with the bones of what is now known as Post Ryan.”
“This probably took the longest time out of all the tracks. The words of the track were
originally really silly. There’s was a line about wearing Christmas socks all year round.
Stupid stuff. It didn’t really fit the tone. The lads wanted me to get out of my comfort
zone and write something really direct.
