The McGunks formed in 2003 out of the remains of other notable Boston area bands with a goal of writing songs for the modern drunkard. Using classic 50’s pop rock sensibility and a strong punk rock ethic combined with roots rock styles as diverse as country and celtic music The McGunks have discovered a way to create songs that are both familiar and new. With song titles such as “3 More Beers” and “Can’t Drink Here No More” it is easy to figure out what The McGunks influence is. In 2005 The McGunks released their first full length album entitled “Here Comes the Shame” independently to favorable reviews. That album, which was re-released in 2008 due to popular demand, enabled The McGunks to perform .. dates of the 2005 warped tour, a finals position in the 2006 WBRU rock hunt as well as sharing the stage with notable Boston area bands such as Street Dogs & the Ducky Boys. The band, Bob Kadlec (vocals/guitar), John Stone (drums), and Pete Martone (bass/vocals) look forward to releasing their second full length album “Ugly American Dream” on Winter Street Records in 2009. Following the release of “Ugly American Dream” The McGunks will continue to perform through out the New England area and where ever else there is alcohol.
We are honored that The McGunks final show will be the Punks For A Princess Benefit, come on out to show them the support they have shown us these last 2 years
