About Me

Silhouette Behind the Gun (SBG for short) are a Manchester born 'n' bred punk rock band. formed in April 2007. Influenced by the clash, offspring, green day and buzzcoks to name a few, our sound is catchy hard hitting punk rock with a Mancunian edge.After a year storming on to the local scene and filling venue's across Manchester, 2008 see's the band lining up bigger and better gigs, catching the eyes and ears of industry figures and releasing they're second E.P. to a rapidly increasing fan base. this looks like it could be the year for the Manc 4 piece.Check out this video: Now it’s Over
