Gilla Band have dropped new single “Alogia,” the track is off the Irish band’s forthcoming LP Pugnello, available September 25th via Rough Trade Records. The song is paired with a video directed by Cuan Roche.

Gilla Band will hit the road this fall for a North American tour this fall, followed by a run of UK and European dates in 2027. “Alogia means poverty of speech linked to mental health conditions,” explains Gilla Band vocalist Dara Kiely. “I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia while writing the lyrics. I thought I could just walk off the old mental illness but alas!”

Gilla Band have also announced an exclusive pre-release listening event at Lanzarote Works in London and Big Romance in Dublin. Fans will have the opportunity to hear the album in full ahead of release on a premium sound system, followed by a Q&A with the band and Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods in London and Ian Lynch (Lankum) in Dublin. The events will also feature exclusive merchandise, giveaways and other collectible products available only to attendees.

Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner, the band have released a hanful of albums include 2015’s Holding Hands With Jamie, 2019’s The Talkies, and 2022’s Most Normal. Their latest offering, Pugnello, was recorded between 2022 – 2026 across three studios (Hellfire, Yellow Door Music Studio, & Sonic Studios in Dublin), and produced by Gilla Band and recorded and mixed by Gilla Band bassist Daniel Fox.

In the four years since Most Normal, each member of Gilla Band have been busy with various projects. Kiely fostered a newfound love of painting, Faulkner played drums for Lankum on the road, Fox became an increasingly in-demand producer guiding ascendant acts like Sprints, Lambrini Girls, and Mandy, Indiana, while Duggan Borges launched his solo project the Null Club with collaborations featuring Mandy, Indiana’s Valentine Caulfield, the Horrors’ Faris Badwan, Miss Grit, and Brooklyn MC Elucid.
