THIS GUN FOR HIRE Posts Vocal Playthrough ‘Infection’

Debut Album ‘Something A Little More Sinister’ Out March 31st

Vancouver’s THIS GUN FOR HIRE will be unleashing their upcoming debut album ‘Something A Little More Sinister’ due out March 31, 2017. Leading up to its release, the metalcore tycoons have posted a new vocal playthrough video with frontman Shelby Tanaka for their track ‘Infection’ at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOuXWpO2gvM.

The music video for ‘Infection’ can be watched at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yzmajgdyTk

Last week, they also unleashed their other single, ‘Good Evening Deacon’ with New Noise Mag at the following link: http://newnoisemagazine.com/premiere-gun-hire-good-evening-deacon/

“‘Good Evening Deacon’ was written about an encounter that was had with a young man that was at the end of his rope. When traveling home one evening, Deacon was happened upon while on the other side of the Granville bridge, ready to leap to an untimely demise. After hours of gentle talking and coaxing, he was talked back to safety on to the other side of the railings.

This song is in his honor, and dedicated to all those who feel the misery and loneliness is too much to bare. Even when things seem their darkest, waking up over and over to the same heartache, and life is repeatedly stomping on you, intent on driving you down; there is hope. And sometimes the love you seek will come from people you’ve never met, showing you your life does in fact matter and things will get better. This song is for Deacon Braun. I hope happiness found you.”

‘Something A Little More Sinister’ was recorded with engineer and producer Roger Swan (K-OS, Battle Axe) to present their first clutch of original songs to showcase to the world. The twelve track album displays a keen awareness of pace and dynamics. Moving deftly from the seething chaos of the eponymous opener to the grandiose and melodic epic of ‘To The Fallen And The Faithful’, and back again for the staccato grunt of ‘Barn Burner’ to finish the record, THIS GUN FOR HIRE leave you in little doubt as to their capabilities.

Discography:

2017 – Something A Little More Sinister – LP

Shared the Stage with:

Conveyor, Prophets, High Hopes, Of Modern Architecture

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.
