On New Years Day 2005, and wasting no time after the twin axemen's previous band Defenestration split up, Rob Reeves and Scott Warner began to lay down the blueprints for what would become Gunning For Goliath. Joining forces with esteemed frontman Adam Fowkes they began to write a repertoire of catchy-as-hell modern melodic metal.
Bassist Michael Kelly joined the band later that year. Having already cut his song-writing teeth with Signatures Remain Michael injected a fresh dynamic and a new set of influences to the Goliath feast.
2007 has seen the band achieve their strongest line-up to date with the addition of A Trust Betrayed’s Dan Appleyard.
Dan's drumming has managed to add a new inventiveness to the band whilst keeping the solid groove that drives G4G’s intense live shows along.
Having played alongside extreme metal stalwarts Raging Speedhorn as well as Mendeed, Shaped
By
Fate, Penknifelovelife, Errander and The Ghost of a Thousand it is becoming more apparent where Gunning for Goliath fit in the musical spectrum; the band sit equidistant between the brutal and the sublime. Fowkes' voice is the perfect contrast to the metallic riffage and powerhouse drumming that ultimately creates an up-to-the minute sound through carefully crafted, accessible tunes.
With growing press attention, radio play (Total Rock, Kerrang Radio and Bruce Dickinson’s BBC 6 Music Rock Show),
the band's first single 'Anaemia' already available to download (iTunes, Napster etc), tours booked and an album in the can, don't be surprised if you start hearing a lot more about Gunning For Goliath very soon. Check out our sponsors...
