A few weeks I got an opportunity to listen to a new band that sounds like an old band, huh, what are you smoking Mr. Average? You will just have to give them a listen to see what I mean. The band is Gunshine who hales from Pensacola, Florida (I was stationed there several times and have fond memories of that place). Gunshine is a good old Rock n’ Roll band with a very strong 80’s hairband sound and vibe.

Their bio on their website reads:

“Gunshine is a Rock n Roll band hailing from Pensacola, FL. While spending all of 2020 and 2021 writing and recording their debut album, they honed in on what makes them stand apart, and what they do best. Due out in 2022, the album recalls the edge and bravado of Rock’s greats such as AC/DC, Boston, and Guns N Roses, but with an original, modern twist. Add that with a heavy-duty production value that sonically gives the songs a punchy, powerful analog sound. The result? Blistering guitar solos, soaring vocals, and a lethal rhythm section all come together to create a well-crafted, organic collection of musical pieces straight from the heart of each member of the band. In a world where it is commonplace to play it safe and not “rock the boat” musically, Gunshine offers a breath of fresh air and throws the rule book out the window. No tricks, no frills, no BS. This is the rock n roll you’ve missed.“

If you are into 80s-90s rock, then you need to give these guys a listen. They really sound like someone took a little Autograph, with a spoonful of Buckcherry and a pinch of Jackyl and you have Gunshine. These guys have a very early Mötley Crüe sound to them.

The Band Members are:
