Eagulls - Tough Luck

[@andybarrett6952]

As a chap in my forties, who always searches for great music, no matter what era, this tune is an absolute belter. The guitar riff is one of the best I've ever heard; this band is one of the best I've heard in recent times. Comforting to know decent music will always exist, in spite of the dreadful chart rubbish nowadays.

[@ktd6705]

Have a listen to Espedairs too.

[@fakieolly]

I need this band back in my life

[@Manuellsen_Neuer]

AMEN

[@Marine280395]

They broke up 😔

[@carsineceremony]

i miss these lads like you wouldn't believe

[@willpalmer83]

that riff has blocked my arteries

[@ozymandias2726]

I'd say you need a Cure (pun intended)

[@CarlosRomero-xd7dg]

TOFU, TOFU, TOFU!

[@xPumaFangx]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@KeenanB2003]

I honestly think Eagulls are the best band to come out of the 2000s

[@fallen88zero]

This song is great,can hear elements of The Cure,Joy Division and especially Killing Joke

[@IanKsblvrd]

I totally agree!

[@victorarnault]

Yeah, I think the same and this is totally great!

[@victorarnault]

Something mixture within The Cure, Joy Division, Echo & Bunnyman and many more! These guys from Leeds are awesome!

[@DonnyBomb]

Because it's post punk

[@Harpdashian]

I hear The Fall, specifically the song C.R.E.E.P

[@SamaraStefanik]

I'm so hooked with this band. Want them to come to Mexico so badly.

[@Maggbba]

This song is awesome and the riff is fucking out of this world. I'm still shocked.

[@Yamack05]

MagnificentBoshtet two weeks on, are you still in shock?

[@Maggbba]

Ryan Oliver yup

[@Forestgravy90]

+MagnificentBoshtet how about now, I know I am

[@Maggbba]

Forestgravy90 Hmmmm maybe not so... oh yeah most definitely

[@pigeonette]

How about now…? I know I am 😎

[@VEVODSCVR]

If you want to know more about Eagulls, check out an interview they did for us over on the DSCVR channel!

[@Yamack05]

***** you're a fucking weirdo mate

[@TheNateesh9]

The opening riff made me fall in love

[@spursblood1]

`Two great albums, such a shame they broke up.

[@cazuve048]

this song is great, it's like new wave + 70's punk in this era...

[@EgghuntRecords]

One of the best songs to come out of Britain since Supersonic

[@daveliso]

Flying Nun overtones here, a bit of C86, some Wedding Present, a dash of Horrors, and guitar sound à la Killing Joke resulting in a cleaner version of Iceage reminiscent of The Walkmen.

[@danpork]

Don't forget Jesus and Mary Chain

[@rafarivero2442]

Gran canción, gran debut, gran grupo, triunfan seguro. Enhorabuena a Señal Radiofónica por incluirlos en Top25, pronto estarán mas arriba.

[@AnaCamp001]

I'm waiting for their concerts here in Spain. Just a couple of weeks ahead.

[@co_li7300]

make me remember the 1st time i listened to new wave music.. Was the perfect match for me. Superb band.

[@AndreaCarolina90]

No supero este tema. Increíblemente bueno.

[@MrSpideyUK]

Can't get enough of this..

[@jay.parmar]

To all those people trying to define who Eagulls are a cross between or which genre they fit into...shut the hell up and just listen to the album like a true music lover?!

[@krashkow]

Word. Hipsters would be nothing with their sub-genre math.

[@anchovian_consular_service7130]

u guys r rite all of music is 1. never mind the value of deconstructing, analyzing, or classifying music, that's for people who don't understand it.

[@amandasteinback8534]

yeah but something about this band's sound feels highly derivative (in a really great way) and so the urge to place it is there.

[@musicsuxnowadays]

i gotta tell ya Jay. your post was soooooooooo right on. made me totally change the way i look at music and youtube vids of music in general. WOW. thank you so much for the wisdom.

[@KeviSeymore]

While no one or artist should confine themselves to the label(s) attributed to them they are helpful in finding more content or people in a similar tone/feeling. And this is definitely post-punk with sound quite akin to Killing Joke, XTC, Joy Division and the like. Originality is a concept of idealists, the best is the most intriguing and intelligent hybrid of concepts and ideas.

[@mrmozy]

This song is great!

[@eyezid]

SI necesita fuerza e interés para emprender una tarde que le haga olvidar el peso de la mañana; esta es la canción... Nuevo disco, gran canción, recomendado...

[@dazzelingdirtyb]

Can't wait to see you guys at Coachella

[@allanlowther9879]

Brilliant stuff..that great sound we would hear from killing joke in the 80s is all over this...

[@felipecostalm]

this song is so underrated

[@mlefort626]

C'est tellement bon d'écouter de nouveaux sons de ce genre... clash/ cure/ smiths/joy division, tout mélangé

[@noparkingnoparking]

this song makes me cry

[@usersyorage9127]

fuck killing joke this is not livin in the 80s....this is brand new i give it the respect of not comparing it to any of these other great bands......love it for NOT being any of those epic bands........that voice is sooooo ...yeah...

[@MikeyPowell]

Loving this.

[@staticoriord7422]

Amazing!!!!!

[@glenar9179]

Me encanta

[@myskii1688]

definitely need to see these guys at reading

[@randysantana9174]

My local record store was playing this and I swore it was a new or unreleased Cure song! When the owner told me it was Eagulls I had to buy the CD

[@cliffberns2144]

Eagulls rock!

[@elloco1.0]

THE CURE

[@toddsabbath]

Half a bottle of voddies in and I this sounds heavenly

[@Galletabivol]

[@alexanderpoopslie9129]

I really like this, kinda reminds me of the cure

[@ronthorgessen4013]

Do tell

[@massimo3412]

Same! The voice is similar.

[@BangTaoBeach]

Yes it does with a touch of Swervedriver thrown in.

[@catherinezetareticuli9003]

[@fatmah5164]

[@robbieblink5740]

[@nleak92]

[@aumsahib]

[@valkyrien957]

Sounds great, nice to hear bands like this in a rap/pop saturated music scene

[@huiledemoteur9247]

i love them so bad

[@petrdocekal3870]

[@bonnnsey]

[@joechapman8802]

[@MatheusHenrique-bx5ve]

Incríveis

[@Sirdklynx92]

Great post-punk

[@DaniloGarciaD]

!Increíble!

[@1976Rye]

The Replacements are back!

[@manlo1403]

the riff remember me a french song called Je rêvais d'un autre monde from Telephone

[@cmac2810]

any lyrics?

[@chuckamok12]

hell yes.

[@GuytRene]

great track,,,yaaaaaaeh...;

[@swellmap8658]

I like this

[@vonvex]

Come to Belfast chaps

[@avoiceofyourown9652]

Dope!

[@davidconstante9433]

un buen post punk

[@12g4uge3]

I get a strong Disorder by Joy Division feel from that bass line, absolutely love the song too

[@Thruftinger]

and the drums do the thing of 'Boy's Don't Cry' by the Cure :p

[@12g4uge3]

Jomarie DE METSENAERE yeah they definitely are wearing the influences they have on their sleeves but I really really enjoy it

[@christiansaldana4200]

Im not a punk fan but those drums and guitar are sooo good to listen to.

[@nicholasalti3479]

Not everything with a guitar and drums is punk

[@christiansaldana4200]

lol i know but im pretty sure this would be considered punk.

[@BEATmyguest31]

Christian Saldana I like to refer to it as music

[@GG57]

I've always found the term post-punk unrepresentative of the genre. This kind of music bleeds into something more akin to really early indie. I always thought of Television as more like one of the first indie bands rather than a seminal post-punk band. Anyhoo, I digress, Eagulls have nailed. Gonna get stuck into them now big time! Gonna see them at Longtitude too. Gonna be SAAAAAVAAGE!

[@190asey]

yes, it's more than punk/post-punk!

[@padiyanki]

Me encanta el dem bow

[@ajealian]

PG x Umbro brought me here

[@envelope3139]

the guitar riff sounds hella like pictures of you

[@rttnkng]

this reminds me of ride tbh

[@domsa_]

I hear The Stranglers in this. A lot.

[@CountNickula]

The opening riff is very Johnny Marr-esque.

[@MrBhugh81]

Fuckin hell this song is great

[@straightrat246]

Fucking awesome!

[@TraSzko]

Cure/Clash

[@arieldelpuerto]

Something from The Cure, something from Joy Division, but they're Eagulls and they're huge!

[@ClassPunkOnRumbleAndSubstack]

*****, I will build a pirate ship out of duct tape and empty bottles to cross the ocean and meet you at these guys' next show.

[@hotelmario510]

What a delightful song about thalidomide babies.

[@jazzmasterjax83]

I hear "You Fell In" by the Angry Angles. Good song though.

[@cekinekshn]

The Cure vibe.

[@stevelira52524]

The Cure and Killing Joke walk into a bar.........

[@TheAlienabductionpro]

[@marksanders42]

TOUGH WOOD TOUGH WOOD TOUGH WOOD

[@LiamQuinn7]

Reminds me of Joy Division.

[@clearviewmind]

thats not such a bad thing, right?!

[@Polyfusia]

Do you guys like Midnight Oil? I hear it a bit in this.

[@mondovila4106]

Polyfusia Interesting. I hear what you mean, also Stone Roses and Catherine Wheel, but really only in the music, George stands on his own with his unique voice. I saw them a couple weeks back and met them. :D

[@ellieshaw951]

reminds me of the cure

[@sergiocastrogarrido3217]

My Life is music or not

[@IanKsblvrd]

Can someone give me the lyrics?

[@DennisFerreira]

You wanted hands, you wanted feet, you wanted toes But luck run out, 'cause they all did what they was told Well I don't know, why you can't come And I don't know, what you were told 'Cause if you'd known, what we all know The tablets won, and slipped down your throat So never mind, (???)

[@IanKsblvrd]

thank you

[@mrzfrz8173]

Good job! Y'all know a buncha '80s post-punk bands! Who cares! You singin' along to this or not? If not, stay at home. Nobody cares what you know unless it's the lyrics.

[@35kanyon95]

More powerful Wedding Presents with Psyched UP Janis,Johnny Marr and Pixies Guitar riffs.

[@angelicavelasco739]

joy division... ?

[@rompi9457]

A good mix between Joy Division and The Cure , but what an amazing band :) !

[@MrGusano2005]

CON EL PERDON DE USTEDES PERO A MI ME SUENA A UNA VERSIÓN REGULAR DE THE CURE

[@Angelicamog]

lo mismo pensé al escucharlos... THE CURE... Solo que me parecieron irregulares,

[@anthonybergeron4712]

its seems i just discovered a new version of the smiths :-)

[@pierregraff684]

chameleons melody / cure voice

sound similar to that cure , taste...

[@FrankLeeBlunt]

Joy Division and Misfits procreated? I love their progeny

[@stefanosabatini6891]

killing joke reunion?

[@carcillian]

Sounds like a Joy Division cover band. Retro must be retrograding to late 70s very early 80s atm. Who knows how many loops these kids will go in till they get something original. Just wait 3 years something else that already happened will happen again and try to claim freshness.

[@catherinezetareticuli9003]

you can lead a horse to water but you cant mate it drink ... and you are the horse, sir

[@teckertime]

Sounds nothing like Joy Division. Your attempt at journalism is also a mistake...

[@martininghardt7774]

Yawn!

[@animarious]

They sound more like "The Cure meet The Clash" to me.

[@GG57]

***** I like that bands are comin out that sound like this. DIIV are great too! All music is referential in some way. Can't be helped. They do wear their influences on their sleeve. Pretty fuckin good ones though!

[@stevengniadek4174]

People show their uneducated state by comparing any of this sound to Joy Division. The Cure I get and totally see but JD? Really? Where are the dark deep vocals? distorted guitars? Loud chorusy basslines? none. "Oh its post-punk? SOUNDS LIKE JOYDIVISION". If anything their instrumentation sounds like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.

[@bluewaves3518]

Well Nerve Endings sounds quite similar in essence to They Walked In Line...

[@darkestification]

Not a big deal stopping being a mushroom tip

[@RedDFilm]

Terrible mix - WTF are the words? Ouch!

[@Marine280395]

I'm so sad about the breakup. Hope George will focus on music again
