About Me

Press

"Sprawling and unpredictable, yet cohesive... Just Guns stunned the audience, demanding the attention and respect of everyone in attendance." -- ATXmagazine.com

"Just Guns' new record, Secrets/Spotlights , reminds me of really old thrift store bootcut jeans: the album is somewhere inbetween the cowboy that donated them and the indie kid who wears them now. And if that makes no sense, I'll drop some names: Think of Merle Haggard, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young. Think of My Bloody Valentine, Death Cab for Cutie, Dinosaur Jr, Interpol." -- CrazyTalk.org

"A zippy mixture of country punk and Raspberries-style power pop" -- Austin360.com/Austin-American Statesman

"Just Guns are that band that challenges everything else that I have in my record collection... except maybe Hank and Patsy. They're the twang in response to Marquee Moon guitar and beer-fueled honkytonk heartbreak that bows up to martinis and bespoke." -- DepravedFangirls.org
