Eagulls are a rough-knuckled band from Northern UK who put out an impressive debut this year. Eagulls' pedigree is more on the lo-fi side of indie rock, but their post-punk and garage influences are readily apparent. Their self-titled debut is a bruising, raucous and punk-tinged romp through post-punk territories. More and more bands like this seem to be coming out of Europe (see last years Savages, this years Lower (up at #2 on my list, we'll get to it)), and it's a pleasant surprise to see a less nihilistic noise coming out. It's also interesting to see the Partisan label branching out to less rootsy fare in the past couple of years.
