When two best friends start a band, songs get filled with inside jokes. Released last October, Gurr’s debut full-length In My Head took the listener on a journey of Andreya Casablanca and Laura Lee's friendship, their life, and a step further into their own world.

Having met in an American Studies class in Berlin, and after spending time in the US together, the US West coast sound was an obvious influence on their music, but Andreya and Laura draw from a wide set of pop culture references and personal experiences for their debut album.

They call their sound ‘first wave gurrlcore’, and with a slight and acknowledging nod to riot grrl culture, they pair straightforward garage rock tunes with more psychedelic and wave elements. "We didn't start making music because of Kathleen Hanna," explains singer Andreya Casablanca. "Musically we were more influenced by bands like Echo & the Bunnymen, the B52s or classics like the Ramones and Beatles.”

Post-hardcore veterans Senses Fail have premiered their new video for  'In Your Absence'. The track is taken off the upcoming acoustic EP of the same name, on sale March 3 via Pure Noise Records.

'This is our first stab at an acoustic record, coming off our last record being so heavy we thought it might be fun to try the opposite. I have to say that it was very fun to write these songs and I think they came out great. They are loosely about my wife’s battle with Multiple Sclerosis and the thought of losing her prematurely.' - Buddy Nielsen

For the last 15 years, Senses Fail has been one of post-hardcore’s most celebrated and influential bands. They’ve released 6 studio albums, including their latest Pull The Thorns From Your Heart, that have a shared common thread of outspoken political and social commentary that have brought attention to important issues such as equality and human rights. The band’s breakout record Still Searching is considered to be a crucial album among post-hardcore fans and marked a turning point for the band’s sound blending the band’s signature aggressive sound with a newfound emotional sensibility.

In addition to releasing a new EP, Senses Fail will also be celebrating their 15th anniversary as a band with a headlining North American tour that kicks off in March. The band will be performing their critically acclaimed 2006 album, Still Searching, in its entirety along with other fan favourites from the last decade and a half to round out the set.
