New striking strokes

2 September 2023

Band: THE GULLS
Who: A trio described as the orgy love child of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and
The Grateful Dead. They are a genre crossing revival of what rock ‘n roll used
to be, with a unique and unmistakable contemporary edge. Their authentic,
freewheeling lifestyle, living on-the-road for years at a time, is proof that this
is what they were born to do. They released their debut album Don’t Feed
The Gulls in 2021.

New single: SANITATION

“A playful folk rock/gypsy anthem for all the dirty people that don’t fit into an
overly sanitized world. With a raw, upbeat and provocative streak, the track is simple,
brash and playful, touching on themes of personal freedom, sexual liberty and society’s influence on our desires – all of which are themes underlying much of their music.”

“We wanted to do a fun, dirty, singalong party song and so it was written in the back of the van on a summer’s day as a playful response to the way the world looks right now. It’s like society’s got this surface level sanitary sheen, and everyones carrying their passport in their pocket on the other side of a screen, and buying plastic wrapped dopamine from who knows where it’s been, and hiding their taboos and following the rules without asking what they mean, when we all know full well someone must be doing the dirty. Being a traveling rock & roll band living on the road, I guess you could say it’s not the easiest for us to keep to the sanitary expectations of society.”

TUTV: In the good old days Wurlitzer jukeboxes were invented to play frolic tunes
like these in pubs for all the barflies who didn’t care about what happened outside.
These flickering music machines should come back to play brisk 7″ vinyl singles
again for all barflies who don’t care about all the BS going on outside these days.

We live in messed-up times as we know it, and music was, is, and always will be
the ideal booster for our twisted state-of-minds. Play Sanitation between a Pogues
and a Dropkick Murphys track while drinking your umpteeth lager.

Party time.
