Gunboat Diplomacy

About Me

Homebase: Moultrie, GA
Background: Gunboat Diplomacy originally formed as a 3 piece by long-time friends and cousins Scott Turner (Bass and Vocals), Eric Lawson (Drums) and Justin Hill (Guitar). We held ourselves up in the upstairs of a garage on the Old Albany Road and began writting songs. After a while we drifted apart and dismantled as bands so seldom do. Justin and Eric wanting to keep the name, the music and the creativity going decided to "audition" former Forgotten Days vocalist Phil Humphries. The first practice with Phil was amazing. The vocals were impressive right off the bat and we seemed to have a great chemistry with one another. One of Phil's friends came in on bass, Tripp, and Justin's brother came in on lead guitar, Jeremy. This is the collective that truly thrived. We got the oppurtunity to play a good bit of shows in a short period of time. About 10 shows during the 5 months of being a band. Opening up for the Kiss Army at Floyd's was definately one of the highlights of our run. At the end of the band we went through a few different lineup changes but nothing seemed to fit. We decided to call it quits but still remain on good terms for the most part. Thanks to everyone that supported and came out to see us and all the bands that we played with. It was a memorable ride.
