Scottish trio GUN latest work is an album of modern, vivid Hard rock with alternative flares. From the opening 'All fired up" not the FASTWAY same titled anthem, but in the same vein of speedy melodic hard rock,to the more alternative rockers of "Boys Don’t Cry" (fea, and "Take Me Back Home", GUN are loaded and shoot straight to the heart of the listener." A Shift In Time" is an emotional mid tempo power ballad, looking straight back to the 90s blinking the eye to David Bowie and CRACKER, while "You Are What I Need" keeps the sentimental paCe steady.
But the band has a tank full of gas, or shall i say a belt loaded with ammunition and they prove it at groovy,melodic, alternative influenced, hard rock songs such as "Don't Hide Your Fears Tonight:,"Never Enough", "Falling" while "Lucky Guy" brings also some dance elements in the vein of PRIMAL SCREAM,ROLLING STONES to make the final product more spicy.With a sound that praises the 90s alternative rock sound from SKIN to STEREOPHONICS with ALMIGHTY in the middle ,while giving a nod to the 80s Hard rock,
GUN are a rejuvenated band that with the current lineup, featuring original members Dante Gizzi (Vocals) and Giuliano Gizzi (Guitar), along with Paul McManus (Drums), Andy Carr (Bass), and Ruaraidh MacFarlane (Guitar) are aiming to the center of the target, having learned their lessons from the music industry well. One of the most memorable and enjoyable modern Hard rock albums of the year.
7.5.
