STRATFORD RISE FIRE THE STARTING PISTOL ON 2025 WITH NEW SINGLE “GUNSHOW”
Belfast noise‑rock quartet Stratford Rise return with new single “Gunshow,” a white‑knuckle rush that cements their reputation as one of Ireland’s most boundary‑pushing guitar bands.
Forged in the heat of the Irish live circuit—where the band’s erratic, visceral performances have incited everything from crowd‑surfing at Whelan’s Ones to Watch to packed rooms at Dublin’s Button Factory alongside noise legends The Jesus Lizard —”Gunshow” distils Stratford Rise’s ferocity into two and half breathless minutes. Jagged, interlocking riffs collide with seismic low‑end and vocalist Orion’s urgent delivery, capturing every shard of feedback in cinematic detail locking listeners into the world of Stratford Rise.
“Gunshow” builds on the buzz of 2022’s debut single “Water Running Through Faucet” and 2023’s genre‑splicing follow‑up “World’s Fair,” threading anxious narratives through extremes of dissonance and melody.
