This is one gigantic trip, man! This album will have you gliding back through time to the days when Pink Floyd was still Syd Barrett‘s band; to the time that Status Quo was writing Pictures of Matchstick Men, or when The Byrds wrote their famous Eight Miles High or The Doors their Spanish Caravan. Psychedelic sounds rule this album, yet with the spirit of Tony Iommi waiting in the wings to add some darker riffs. At least, towards the second half of the album, the band does sound a wee bit heavier than at the start.

There must be something special in the water in Vancouver, BC, the spawning ground of such influential legends as Strapping Young Lad and Frontline Assembly, and now we can add THIS GUN FOR HIRE to such esteemed company. Taking cues from Alexisonfire, Every Time I Die, Underoath, Beartooth, The Holly Springs Disaster, the band describes their sound as “fast, heavy, sincere, atmospheric, and meaningful.”.
Formed in 2015, TGFH is a genuine band of brothers, they have built a long-lasting friendship through the music they play that doesn’t fit a specific category.
“It’s just music we all feel the need to write. Metal with no boundaries is what got us together. There is way too much fluff going on now in this genre. Its lost its integrity. We hope people can walk away with one of our songs stuck in their head. Or looking for more!” says guitarist Tyler Burns.
Stepping into the studio with engineer and producer Roger Swan (K-Os, Battle Axe) to record their first clutch of original songs, Tyler Burns (guitars), Shelby Tanaka (vocals), Axel Verstraeten (guitars) along with rhythm section in the shape of drummer Mitch Harsch and bassist Jake Murdoch completed their debut 12 track album ‘Something A Little More Sinister’. Set to be unleashed on March 31st, 2017, the debut displays a keen awareness of pace and dynamics. Moving deftly from the seething chaos of the eponymous opener ‘Infection’ to the grandiose and melodic epic of ‘To The Fallen and The Faithful’, and back again for the staccato grunt of album closer ‘Barn Burner’. There’s little doubt as to This Gun For Hire’s capabilities.
Live performances are cherished by TGFH, a very much DIY band, being authentic on stage is their #1 priority.
“I cannot stress this enough with our band, live performances are very important. There is something special in seeing a real live performance in front of your eyes. We try to accomplish that every time we set foot on stage. High energy songs for a high energy crowd, no simpler way to put it!” says Burns.
To date, the band has shared the stage with multiple local Vancouver bands and have their eyes set on bigger support slots and tours across western Canada and beyond.
‘Something A Little More Sinister’ will be available through iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby on March 31, 2017.

Canadian shredders STRIKER have posted their new lyric video ‘Born To Lose’, the first single in support of their upcoming self-titled album due out February 24, 2017 via their own independent label Record Breaking Records.

STRIKER will be on tour across the USA and Europe from January till mid April (dates listed below).
The band comments on track:
“Born To Lose, like most of our songs, is about doing what you want in life. When you are born into this world, there is a lot of you life that is predetermined. If you choose to change part of your life you need to go out and live it, not just fantasize about it. We’ve always wanted to hear music like ours, so we started a band and created it. Born to Lose embraces everything we love about music: speed, nonstop shred, huge vocals, guitars, and drums, and over the top energy and emotion. If it doesn’t make you want to throw down and party then nothing will.”
