Guns On The Roof are a four piece street punk band
from Leeds, I have managed to see the band on the
road a number of times for the past couple of years
supporting some of the brightest UK punk bands such
as 4FT Fingers and The Anti Nowhere League. Over
recent years the UK punk scene seems to have been
deserted with bands leaving the scene quicker than
they came on the scene, however over the past 6
months the scene seems to be coming back and stronger
than ever with The Gallows hitting the mainstream,
1000 Hertz having an equally good sound, the 4FT
Fingers returning for their biggest and longest
tour in years and Guns On The Roof still taking
the scene by storm with their fast and passionate
sound.
'Last Orders' is the new ep from Guns On The
Roof, it may only be 3 tracks in size and just
under 11 minutes in length but that’s more
than enough time for you to get a feel of what
Guns On The Roof are all about. The ep kicks off
with 'Last Orders', the song is fast and is crammed
with punk attitude and style, think of a poppier
version of early Rancid and you will be pretty
close to knowing what Guns On The Roof sound like,
now I don’t mean poppy as in what all the
big American bands sound like singing about ex-girlfriends
and being dumped, Guns On The Roof are a proper
punk band, you can clearly see punk is in their
heart, they just have a slight catchy edge.
'Michael Myers' has such a strong introduction,
the guitars are really bouncy sounding and the
strong sounding lead vocals are backed up with
shouts of "woah", the song is extremely
fast and quite an anthem, the midway chants of
"Michael Myers" are what punk’s
all about.
Now punk seems to be on the rise again in the
UK, but it’s going to take a lot for the
scene to become the in thing again especially
when the British are really into their indie music
and emo dress sense, give it a year or so when
the emo scene has been and gone and hopefully
this will give the punk scene chance to rise out
of the underground. Guns On The Roof are a talented
band and are up there with the Strawberry Blondes
and some of the other great bands in the underground
punk circuit.
4/5
