GUN announce new album ‘Break The Silence’

by

GUN are please to announce that our new album, Break The Silence, will be released on 11th June by earMusic, Edel’s international rock label home of artists such as BUSH, AVA, SKUNK ANANSIE, CHICKENFOOT, FOREIGNER, DEEP PURPLE, BLUE OCTOBER and many others.

We will also be playing a couple shows in the lead up to the release in the following cities before hitting the road in the summer with The Cult.

22nd May – London Islington Academy 2
23rd May – Nottingham Rock City
24th May – Manchester Ruby Lounge

“Break The Silence” is produced by Dave Eringa, the 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 reminding at 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”, made of songs that were too good not to be heard.

New and old fans will have more than a chance to see Gun´s energetic live show. Gun fans will certainly agree it was worth the wait: the eleven songs forming the new album reminds of some of the greatest rock albums. No fillers, power, energy, refined and rough at the same time.

Front man Dante has expressed his enthusiasm about the new album: ‘It’s great to be back and we’re really pleased to be working with earMUSIC. We’ve always felt we had unfinished business as GUN and we couldn’t be happier with the tracks we have on our new album!  We can’t wait for people to hear it and we can’t wait to be out on the road again!’

The band has recently toured with Big Country all over the UK and have plans to play live in the UK,  some of the biggest festivals and together with The Cult all over Europe.
