“Originally formed during medical school, GULZ was created as a means to throw loose afterparties and impress the opposite sex (unsuccessfully). Since then, the group have gone on to become the first indie band of junior doctors (+ allies) to sellout the Camden Assembly, release an EP on Fierce Panda, and even bag themselves a full-page spread on BBC NEWS…
This is your band, your friends and your songs.”
