
GUN’s contemporary take on authentic rock gave them an edge over their peers. Formed in Glasgow in 1987 by the Gizzi brothers (Jools & Dante), they came to re-invent the rock ‘n’ roll genre. Their debut album, “Taking On The World, brought with it many successful singles (Better Days / Money) and their follow up albums (Gallus / Swagger) were equally as successful with hits (Word Up / Don’t Say It’s Over / Something Worthwhile). With countless appearances on MTV & TOTP’s, guest slots with acts such as; The Rolling Stones and countless awards, GUN were a band that lived hard and fast in the grunge era of the 90’s but by 1998 the band had decided to go their separate ways.

Fast-forward 10 years to 2008 and GUN received an unexpected prize. Awarded with the prestigious Nordoff Robbins Tartan Clef award for ‘Scotland’s Best Live Band’, GUN decided that they would reform. With the Gizzi brothers at the helm (Dante on lead vocals) the boys enlisted fellow Glaswegians Paul McManus on drums and Jonny McGlynn on Guitar to complete the new line up. With the band back in business, and a stream of live shows under their belt, the new look GUN was met with an overwhelming enthusiasm from both media and fans alike.
The new album see’s Dante taking their music in a new and revitalized direction, one that is mightily impressive live. Dante’s vocal ability and way with words encapsulates the crowd and keeps them as enthused with the new tracks, as they are when they hear the old ones.

The album also features appearances by Michael McDaid (Bass and vocals) and Gavin Fitzjohn (Brass) both from Paolo Nutini’s band and has been co-produced by the Multi instrumentalist Simon Bloor (Seal).

With a buzz starting to build around their new album, the band is excited about getting back on the road, showcasing new tracks and even more excited about the adventures that await them in 2014.
