GORILLA is an English band from Hastings, founded in 1998 by John Redfern, Sarah Russel and Billy Darlington. 

 

Influenced by Budgie, Blue Cheer, Grand Funk Railroad, MC5, the band plays a rough street punk Motorhead/Pink Fairies/Crushed Butler attitude and style with an authentic vintage feel and sound. Capturing the essence of the classic era of 60s/70s rock without sounding cliched is ridiculously hard, if not an impossible self imposed task, but Gorilla have achieved exactly that.

​

They have performed with Fu Manchu, OJM, Blue Cheer, Josiah, Brant Bjork & The Bros, Orange Goblin, The Heads, Colour Haze, Hawkwind and many others.
