The Guns of Navarone. Guns of Brixton. And now, Guns of Nevada. Chalk them up as another legendary name to remember. They’ll pound your ears, break your heart, make you yell, and in the end you’ll realize that you just fell in love with the music of GUNS OF NEVADA.
Formed in 2007 by four Washington natives, Earle Thunders (LUCKY STIFF and STUMBLEBUM), Rev. Adumb Green (I FORGET and EVIL TWIN, local radio personality and brother to Jeremiah Green of Modest Mouse), ‘Disco’ Donnie Guns (JACK THE HOT ROD), and D.H. Lynch (SLOPSHOT) have been rocking stages, playing to standing room only crowds, and putting on a hell of a show since their inception, much to the delight of their ever growing fanbase. Don’t expect doctored up lyrics, studio singers, or producer-refined sounds; theirs is raw and untamed. Do expect to try to fight your way to the front of the crowd and scream along with every word, expect to probably get a beer or two spilled on you, and expect to be singing their songs while you’re driving, showering, and occasionally making love. Their well-written, and often irreverent, songs stick in your head and keep your toes tapping.
“How do you describe their sound?” you might ask. Maybe not, but you might. It’s damn hard to use mere words to describe Guns, even for me, and I’m a writer. It’s something you have to experience. I suppose if Johnny Cash, Ted Nugent, and Lynyrd Skynyrd had an old-fashioned ‘Sharks and Jets’-esque brawl with Social Distortion and the Ramones, and then they all came together at the end of the fight to play a show, they’d sound a lot like Guns of Nevada. Make sense?
Earle lays down the lead vocals (although every member of the band lends their pipes time and again), as well as giving it hell on rhythm guitar while wearing his signature crumpled straw hat. Donnie absolutely slays the guitar, at the same time slaying the crowds. The Reverend Adumb pounds the bass and D.H. pounds the drums, supplying the rhythm that won’t let you stay in your seat.
They’ve garnered worldwide airplay on radio stations from Texas to Spain and everywhere in between (depending which direction you go, I guess) and their tunes “Outlaws” and “Handcuffs”were featured prominently on CMT’s show ‘Chopper Challenge’. They’ve been featured in magazines and newspapers and show after show they continue to prove themselves. Finally, with the debut of their self-titled album in October, GUNS OF NEVADA is etching out a name for themselves in the hallowed halls of rock n’ roll history and destined for greatness. In addition to being able to pick up this album of nine (Yes, count them, nine!) finger-lickin’ tracks at any one of their shows, now you can download it from CD Baby, Digstation, and iTunes. While you’re at a show, don’t forget to stop by the merchandise table and pick up a snazzy T-shirt or thong for your girl (or yourself, if you happen to be a girl) and have beer with the guys. Or two.
