Gunfire! Getdown!

About Me

Formed in early 2007, Cleveland’s Gunfire Getdown is a virtual jack-hammer of love and despair deep in the pants of rock & roll, soaked with cheap beer and moaning with pleasure & pain somewhere in between the dirty thighs of the Suzi Quatro and the Donnas. The group is a clevo-all-star band of sorts, featuring former & current members of Crash of '59, the Nick Wolff Band, Switchblade Saints, Who Killed Marilyn, and Immolation Monk.

Originally started as a side-project, the band has sneakily evolved from a four-piece into a fully equipped, six-piece rock outfit by adding a second guitar and organ player. The bulk of their songs could be characterized as guitar-heavy, proto-punk without all the busy two-minute solos that seem to plague & muddy the sound of their riffy-rock peers.

The band’s first single release was recorded at Cleveland Audio Studios, and was engineered & produced by Ryan Foltz of Rancid, Dropkick Murphy’s fame. The band is currently fine-tuning new material for a full-length release and is seeking venues to showcase their filthy-good brand of live rock, both locally & regionally.
