Following the release of the manic, ‘Wash Your Wounds’ earlier this year, and ahead of their tour with Dead Pony in December, Scottish indie-punks GALLUS today share another taste of new music in the form of ‘DEPRESSED BEYOND TABLETS,’ now available on MARSHALL RECORDS. Fans can stream the track–HERE The band’s latest hook-laden, Chris Morris-inspired slice of post-punk underscores the crushing realisation that life’s more profound problems can’t be masked by temporary fixes or pills. Produced and engineered by Dead Pony’s Blair Crichton, the track signals that it is time to spark genuine change and take control. “‘Depressed Beyond Tablets’ came from a line Eamon and I found funny in Brass Eye,” jokes vocalist Barry Dolan. “We were inspired to explore the feeling of finding yourself beyond the tolerable limits of the world and not having anything within your control,” Dolan adds. “It’s almost like realising there’s no point in trying to right the wrongs in your life with medicine or self-help and wanting to experience actual change—treating the cause, not the symptom.” “The song was written whilst we were on tour with Therapy?” guitarist Eamon Ewins adds. ”Gian heard me playing around with the intro riff at sound check in Cardiff, so we took a quick recording of it and booked a studio in Birmingham. We had studio time booked with Blair to record a different song the next day, but DBT took priority, and we thrashed it out right there.” CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW TO CHECK OUT DEPRESSED BEYOND TABLETS’
MORE ABOUT GALLUS: GALLUS bottles that sense of anticipation, the idea that anything could happen. Throwing back to the days when responsibilities were few, anticipation was high, and opportunity was around every corner. The band combined the energetic bounce of the Sports Team with the tongue-in-cheek running commentary of life in 2022 of Yard Act and the introspection of contemporaries Fontaines D.C. The band formed under unorthodox circumstances; after failed attempts to get their previous musical project off the ground, cousins Paul and Eamon Ewins recruited school friend Barry Dolan as their frontman after seeing him in a college play, despite little to no musical background. It was his dynamism and energy that drew them to him, and it was these characteristics that the band grew famous for. The band’s reputation for electric and, at times, chaotic live shows grew quickly. They soon filled rooms across the UK, Europe, and beyond, releasing their critically acclaimed album ‘We Don’t Like the People We’ve Become’ (via Marshall Records). Having supported the likes of Biffy Clyro and played to thousands at festivals and showcases, including SXSW, Primavera Sound, Iceland Airwaves, The Great Escape and ESNS, seeing Gallus’ reputation on the international stage is starting to grow in notoriety. This was reflected in the band being crowned Best Rock/Alternative Category at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards in 2022. TOUR DATES 2024
