Band of the Week: BourbonGun

Hailing from the rugged landscapes of Northern Ireland, BourbonGun merges hard rock and metal with the dark, dusty allure of Old West tales. Formed in 2018 by the enigmatic duo “Bobby Morgue” and “The Villain,” the band’s narrative-driven sound took shape as they built their gang. With the arrival of La Barba, BourbonGun was ready to saddle up and take listeners on a thrilling ride through the untamed frontier—straight to the depths of Hell!

Their debut single, “Whiskey Rebellion,” served as a bold experiment, fusing their eclectic influences into a gritty, cohesive sound. Though its initial reception was modest, the band remained steadfast, sharpening their craft and refining their vision. In 2024, BourbonGun released their follow-up single, “Down In The Shadows,” a haunting anthem that showcases their evolution. But this is only the beginning of their story. The gang is hard at work on their next release, promising more thunderous riffs and Wild West-inspired narratives to captivate their audience.

So grab your hat, holster your whiskey, and prepare to be swept away by the untamed soundscapes of BourbonGun—this band is ready to blaze their trail!
