Eagulls was a rock ensemble originating from Leeds, England, formed in 2009. The lineup included George Mitchell on vocals, Mark Goldsworthy and Liam Matthews handling guitars, Tom Kelly playing bass, and Henry Ruddel on drums.
History
The band’s initial release was the single Council Flat Blues, issued through Moshi Moshi's Not Even Records. Their 2012 self-titled EP, engineered by MJ of Hookworms, came out via London's Sexbeat and Canada's Deranged Records. In 2013, Eagulls signed with Partisan Records, under which they released the singles "Nerve Endings"—which featured a cover of a Killing Joke track—and "Tough Luck." Their first full-length album, also titled Eagulls, was released in March 2014.
Eagulls attracted considerable media coverage from prominent publications such as NME, The Guardian, Loud and Quiet, Vice, and Stereogum, as well as international outlets including The Fader and Pitchfork. In 2013, BBC Radio 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq named them his New Favourite Band. The group toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe, and the United States, supporting notable acts like Manic Street Preachers and Franz Ferdinand. They also performed at major music festivals including SXSW and CMJ. In 2014, they made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Their sophomore album, titled Ullages—an anagram of their band name—was produced by Matt Peel and released in May 2016 through Partisan Records.
In May 2021, George Mitchell revealed that he had left the band several years earlier. Since then, he has focused on painting and initiated a new music venture called "Honesty."
