Big Guns formed in 1985 after the release of Stephen Crane’s solo record, Kicks (MCA 1984). Due to the departure of Irving Azoff and the consequent shock at the MCA that year, the album was released without promotion and left to itself, without being able to reach any chart of the time, even if, curiously, it was subsequently reissued twice in Europe, garnering rave reviews.
Due to the label’s inability to promote the release and the group, Crane and guitarist Duane Sciacqua (pictured above) continued to write and record new songs. Joined by Johnny Burnett, the two then enlisted Paul Daniel and Matt McKelvie, creating the Big Guns.
