After a 14 years´ break, Scottish rockers GUN will release their great return on June 15th, 2012.
The band´s debut album, “Taking On The World”, achieved multiple successful singles, appearances and guest slots with acts such as The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Simple Minds, Bryan Adams or Def Leppard. With critically acclaimed albums, singles, many awards and a few line up changes under their belt, GUN decided to call it a day in 1998. Fast forward 10 years into 2008, GUN was awarded with the prestigious Nordoff Robbins Tartan Clef award for ‘Scotland’s Best Live Band’, which ultimately led to the band´s reunion, accompanied by an enthusiastic response.
“Break The Silence” was produced by Dave Eringa, mastermind behind artists such as The Manic Street Preachers and Ocean Colour Scene. The collaboration resulted in a perfect balance between a modern approach and a vintage Energy, flirting with the times of The Stooges or early Stones. The perfect sonic dress for GUN´s inspired and versatile songwriting. Not just another exercise in nostalgia, but an album that “had to be made”, featuring songs that were too good not to be heard.
GUN fans will certainly agree it was worth the wait: the eleven songs forming the new album remind of some of the greatest rock albums. No fillers, power, energy, refined and rough at the same time.
