I can't think of a finer way to start, than - GUN!

I can't promise this won't....but, I do want to give you a heads up, on what could easily be your 'must buy' album of the year !
Favourite Pleasures is out September 15th and is perfectly named for me!
Long have GUN been a favourite pleasure of mine and this album gives a big seal of approval as to why!
I have been playing the album endlessly ( as any good Gunette would!) and can confirm, with a massive grin on my face, the guys are back to GUNs glory days - wooooo!
It's rocky, meaty, melodic ,riffy - you name it, its got it!
From the title track of the album - Favourite Pleasures, which has been lovingly played on many a radio station (rightly so), to the opening toe tapping guitar riffs of 'She Knows', you will find yourself compelled to throw your hands in the air and sing along.
Every track is punchy, zesty and oh, so memorable. Defy you, not to know the lyrics of 'Tragic Heroes' by the end of the track, its melodic and rocky with a 'Better Days' vibe (oh, how I love that song).
Honest, you will be a Dante Gizzi wannabe, singing into your air mic after just one play through - it's that catchy!
I guarantee, you will love the mix of melodic grooves, raw rock and then wham bam, along comes the punky edge of 'Go To Hell', to mix it up further..Mind blowing!
To top off this quite super duper album, the simply stunning 'The Boy Who Fooled The World'. A song that most definitely should come with a warning - ' This track, hereby, promises to leave an indelible mark on your heart, from this day forward!'
It really is an album that has it ALL!
If you are not a wiggling after hearing it, your toosh is broken!!
Let me put it like this.... we all love a great album in the car, one that you car-aoke too, so grab that drink in your cup holder, take a swig and get those vocal chords lubricated because trust me, you will be singing your heart out!
Favourite Pleasures will be a member of the - 'you never skip a track and permanently in your cd player' club. We all have a few of those and don't we just love them..... they become classics!
You can feel how special this album is to the guys too, it has been put together with thought and friendship. A band of brothers, who have got that bit tighter, with the addition of Tommy and that bit more playful too! This is one, the guys are gonna be most proud of (Good on ya lads).
Right, that is me about done, just to let you know, the gorgeous Gun guys ( they are just that too - time for a phhwooarr ! ) are out on tour with the album at the end of the year with three fab dates:
December
2nd Glasgow Barrowland
8th Manchester Club Academy
9th London Electric Ballroom
Now, I have been really lucky to see them live twice, in the past couple of months and can hand on heart say, the new tunes are sounding ACE! Favourite Pleasures was actually my top track, in their set at StoneFree Festival. It equally sounded, just as awesome acoustically, when they performed it at
So, my advice to you, is to ditch the Chrimbo songs for one night in December & treat yourself to an early pressie & go have an amazing night with GUN. ( You won't regret it !!)
I will of course be taking my own advice (try and keep me away!!) and will keep my pinkies crossed for another peck on the cheek too ! Big beamy smile right now!
