GUN announce new album ‘Hombres’

GUN have announced a new album!

Titled Hombres, the upcoming album from the Scottish hard rock band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s Favourite Pleasures, and is scheduled to be released in April next year, via Cooking Vinyl.

The upcoming album was recorded and produced by Simon Bloor [TREVOR HORN] with mixing by Daryl Thorpe [FOO FIGHTERS] at Morsecode Studios and Strongroom Studio. The record features guest vocals from Beverley Skeete [ELTON JOHN, CHAKA KHAN, TOM JONES, JOHNNY CASH], Mary Pearce [PRIMAL SCREAM, LIONEL RITCHIE, CHAKA KHAN] and Sarah-Jane Skeete [ROBBIE WILLIAMS, KYLIE MINOGUE, BILL WYMAN] of THE SISTERHOOD on several tracks, as well as a guest performance on the drums from Joe Lazerus of TWIN ATLANTIC.

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Giuliano ‘Jools’ Gizzi says, “this is one of the proudest pieces of work we’ve ever done, truly it’s GUN in its finest form.”

Vocalist Dante Gizzi adds, “we are proud of the new record and know the fans will love it. We always try to push forward and innovate; it’s essential as it’s how we keep ourselves passionate and excited about making music after so long together. It’s important to bring new blood and fresh ideas into the band, too, and Ru [Moy, guitars] has already added a new dynamic.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, GUN have released a new song from the upcoming new album; All Fired Up. Speaking about the new song, Dante says, “All Fired Up is a nod to what we all went through during lockdown; it represents the pent-up frustrations we all had and this is an artistic release of all that built up energy!”
