Every once in a while a band comes along that embodies the spirit of Australian rock music. Black Guns is one of those bands. Blistering loud guitars, gutsy riffs and a thundering rhythm section pumping out foot stamping, good time tunes in a hail of sweat soaked energy. A gang of larrikins with a no bullshit attitude, they're not here to re-invent the wheel or pose for your camera they're here to continue the irrepressible musical force that is rock'n'roll.

Hailing from the mean streets of Melbourne the boys have travelled the country slaying audiences far and wide with their energetic live show and rugged charm. They've shared the stage with the cream of Aussie rock including Rose Tattoo, The Angels, The Screaming Jets, The Celibate Rifles, Airbourne and countless others. They've released two successful EP's, appeared at some of Australia's best known festivals and venues and had there music featured across the world on movies and television. With a killer new EP about to come out and their debut album slated for release later this year 2008 is shaping up to be "The Year of The Guns".

Black Guns are primed and ready to fire their salvo of Oz rock riffs into the ears and hearts of punters nationwide.
Get ready to be blown away!

"...once they let rip with a concerted guitar carpet bombing there wasn't a dry pair of pants in the room. Meat and Veg rock it maybe but holy fuck, no three course meal has been this exhilarating."

"Black Guns are a full throttle nuts-in-a-vice guitar arse whipping. Big solos, suitable amounts of hair and buckets of sweat..."
Jaymz Clements, BEAT MAGAZINE

Glad to hear that this has been on the radio. Very Australian sound, but not in a way that bugs the listener (cos some bands go over the top).
