On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment magazine in the UK“, folk rock band The Gulls have released a song for dirty people who don’t fit into our overly sanitized world, Sanitation.
The Gulls
The Gulls have been described as the orgy love child of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead. Proof that they’re doing what they were born to do, their genre crossing revival of what rock ‘n roll used to be has a unique and unmistakable contemporary edge demonstrates their authentic, freewheeling lifestyle of living on-the-road for years at a time.
Members of The Gulls, Will Fairhead, Kilian Aubertin and Tali Knightsongs, craft songs that narrate anthemic cries of freedom, change and love. Paving their way into a new territory, The Gulls combine elements of folk, psychedelia and rock & roll, with an amalgam of genres and influences, which result in a sound that is distinctly their own.Â
In the last year they have toured extensively, playing venues, and festivals, as well as gorilla gigs on the streets and beaches across the UK and Europe. Most notably, the band pioneered a concept called The Robin Hood Tour, creating a moving convoy of vehicles and performing unauthorized concerts in the hearts of the UK’s biggest cities. Stealing the right to play from the rich and giving to the poor, all proceeds from the tour went to the food banks.
The Gulls are people’s best friend and the council’s worst enemy.
Sanitation
Their song Sanitation is a playful folk rock/gypsy anthem for all the dirty people that don’t fit into an overly sanitized world. With a raw, upbeat and provocative streak, the track is simple, brash and playful, touching on themes of personal freedom, sexual liberty and society’s influence on our desires – all of which are themes underlying much of their music.Â
We wanted to do a fun, dirty, singalong party song and so it was written in the back of the van on a summer’s day as a playful response to the way the world looks right now. It’s like society’s got this surface level sanitary sheen, and everyones carrying their passport in their pocket on the other side of a screen, and buying plastic wrapped dopamine from who knows where it’s been, and hiding their taboos and following the rules without asking what they mean, when we all know full well someone must be doing the dirty.
Being a traveling rock & roll band living on the road, I guess you could say it’s not the easiest for us to keep to the sanitary expectations of society.
