Gilla Band, founded in Dublin in 2011, rose to prominence in their home country with their debut single "In My Head," which established the quartet as one of the most talked-about artists thanks to their cathartic reimagining of modern rock conventions. The band has cited influences such as The Fall, Bad Brains, Neu!, Kendrick Lamar, and The Chemical Brothers, and their sound, which blends post-punk, noise rock, and even techno elements, has been praised by media outlets like Pitchfork and The Guardian.
