SOUND OF GUNS – ALCATRAZ

Rate this item
(6 votes)

sound-coverSound Of Guns are a Liverpool based indie rock outfit bashing out spirited and anthemic rock tunes that imagine Echo and the Bunnymen colliding headfirst into U2, with a dash of Springsteen and The Replacements thrown in there for added messy rock n roll spirit.

ALCATRAZ is the first single to be released from their forthcoming debut album and sees the band teaming up with producer/mixer Chris Potter of U2 and The Verve fame. zavvi-logo1

ALCATRAZ is a bold and brash statement of intent from Sound Of Guns, the Liverpool band unleashing an anthemic and melodic slice of rock here that just screams out to be blasted from radios and stadiums up and down the country. Sing along melodies and crashing choruses combined with crunching guitar histrionics ensure that Sound Of Guns make just the right kind of musical splash here, ALCATRAZ definitely the kind of thing likely to expose this band to very big things. Coupled with an equally explosive and anthemic flip side in the shape of KNOTS, Sound Of Guns make a fantastic noise here.
