Gilla Band, formerly known as Girl Band, is an Irish post-punk band hailing from Dublin, known for their abrasive sound and intense live performances. The band consists of Dara Kiely (vocals), Alan Duggan (guitar), Daniel Fox (bass), and Adam Faulkner (drums). They emerged onto the music scene with their early work such as "France 98" and "The Early Years," both of which laid the foundation for their unique blend of noise rock and post-punk sensibilities.

Their full-length debut album, "Holding Hands with Jamie," released in 2015, received critical acclaim for its raw energy and innovative approach. The band continued to garner a cult following with their subsequent releases, including "The Talkies" and a live album, "Live at Vicar Street," which captured the raw intensity of their stage presence. Their music is punctuated by Kiely's distinctive vocal delivery and often confronts themes of mental health and personal struggle, giving their work an added layer of depth and urgency. Their recent work, including singles like "Post Ryan" and "Most Normal," exhibits the band's continual evolution and relentless drive to push the boundaries of their genre.
