Gun
The band's debut single 'Better Days' shot straight into the Top 40 securing an appearance on 'Top Of The Pops' & attracted supporters/champions from many genres of music/backgrounds. They have supported both The Rolling Stones & Simple Minds on their European Tours of 1990.
Their second album provided another huge radio record in 'Steal Your Fire' & a return to the Top Of The Pops studio.
This and two years of constant European touring established the band as leaders of the Brit-Rock movement alongside Therapy, The Wildhearts, The Almighty, Thunder, Little Angels & Terrorvision.
Their third album, 'Swagger' saw GUN's biggest commercial success propelled by their version of Cameo's classic hit, 'Word Up!.'
The band split in 1997 but returned briefly for a few one-off reunion gigs in 1998 and 1999. Two new GUN CDs were released (The Collection and The River Sessions - a double live CD) during their hiatus, and all the previous individual members went on to other projects within the music industry.
In January 2008, GUN had just recently received an award from Nordoff-Robbins for outstanding contribution to Music.
Following this, GUN announced on Tom Russell's Rock Radio show (April 2008) their permanent reformation. Going forward, new recorded material was the agenda & the year saw GUN as headline artist to Manchester's Rock Radio festival launch during the summer alongside an appearance on the Main Stage of T In The Park with Rage Against The Machine.
