Frantic

Description

MTV EMA winners Gun are back! The band is set to release their latest album Frantic through Caroline on March 23rd 2015.

Opener Let It Shine radiates with gospel feel-good rock n roll while Beautiful Smile roars with hard rock urgency. Lead single Labour Of Life is a fast paced pop anthem which shows the bands ability to cross over with stunning pop sensibilities. Title track Frantic is a slower number filled with full string section which compliment Dante Gizzis haunting vocals. Frantic is filled with no fillers, power, energy, and is refined and rough at the same time. Gun´s singer Dante Gizzi has expressed all his enthusiasm about the new album:

Weve had such an amazing time recording this album and had the privilege of recording it in some of the most prestigious studios across Europe, such as Sarm in London, ICP studios in Brussels and also on home turf at the fabulous Gorbals Sound in Glasgow . We believe that this album has captured the Gun style in every way and we hope the fans will love it as much as weve loved recording it!

The album channels all the different styles of their previous records to create a brand new sound and direction for the band. The album was produced by Simon Bloor and mixed by Tim Weidner (Trevor Horns music team) GUNs contemporary take on authentic rock gave them an edge over their peers. Formed in Glasgow by the Gizzi brothers, they came to re-invent the rock n roll genre. In September 2010, their debut album Taking On The World was included in Classic Rock magazines list of the 150 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time.

Over the years the band had many guest slots with acts such as; The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Simple Minds, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard. With critically acclaimed albums, singles, many awards and lineup changes under their belt, GUN decided to call it a day in 1998. The band reformed in 2012 with their acclaimed Break The Silence album, that year also saw them go down a storm at Download festival.

The band recently sold out three dates at Glasgows infamous King Tuts venue in less than 15 minutes. The nights saw GUN play their first three albums Taking On The World, Gallus and Swagger. Over the course of the three evenings the band performed a number of new songs to an amazing audience reaction.
