Hard rock from USA, debut full-length album released in 2022.
Hailing from the panhandle of Florida, Gunshine offers a breath of fresh air to the rock scene. A musical love child conceived during the pandemic, Gunshine was birthed by Daytona Beach native and New Years Day ax man Austin Ingerman, who, as a result of the world shutting down, suddenly found himself off the road and eager to carry out his vision of forming a fresh, edgy rock n' roll band. The vision was to create songs that had attitude, were melodic/catchy, and most importantly written very organically. "I'll hear vocal melodies and guitar riffs in my head, and let things flow very naturally and artistically. We just write what comes out, and never try to sound a certain way or let external factors influence our writing in any way" says Ingerman.
After an exhaustive search, Jordan Benson, distant cousin to Elvis Presley, became the band’s singer and added a dose of charisma and showmanship that has become a staple of Gunshine’s live shows. Gunshine recorded their debut album, and follow up EP in Las Vegas with producer/engineer Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars, Whitesnake, Lynchmob, Prong) who is an integral part of the sonic translation of the band.
Together, this group lays down face-melting guitar solos, catchy riffs, soaring vocals and a lethal rhythm section which all come together to create a sonic boom harkening back to a time when music was raw, blisteringly energetic, and loud. In a world where it is commonplace to play it safe, Gunshine throws the rule book out and plays it straight from the heart, no tricks, no frills, no BS. This is rock-n-roll, the kind you’ve been missing.

The album, Gunshine, is a monster. “Loud’ is slamming with buzzsaw guitar riffs and crushing vocals. Brown’s bass is killer and Renshaw’s percussions hit like a sledgehammer. Ingerman’s guitar solo is ferocious. It’s a great opener. “Daylight” continues the barrage. The vibe is divine with a brazen arrangement and forceful vocals. Benson’s voice is full of edgy fervor and once again Ingerman reigns supreme. His guitar is as sharp as a knife with an avalanche of imposing accents. The harmonies work perfectly.
“Live Free, Get Wild” is full of excitement. Renshaw’s drums are barreling and crisp. The guitar solo has a fluid feel. “Wall Said To Call” is another banger. It exudes a massive rhythm that defies you not to move. The song cranks with a kaleidoscope of sound. This will definitely be a tour favorite. “Feel Alright” contains a bluesy feel and Benson’s vocals are captivating. “Feel Alright” dispenses an anthemic quality. By this point, Gunshine is throwing out a heavenly blast of pure rock.
“Change Today” and “No Way” follow. Both songs have a gnarly cadence and a punchy sound. “Playing With Fire” brings in more heat. The ambiance is stellar. Ingerman’s guitar has a palette full of addictive textures and Benson’s vocals are incendiary. The backbeat is voracious. The track is a flaming bulldozer. Gunshine closes out with “Something Real” and “Meet You There”. It’s an ideal ending to a sonic jewel of a release.
Gunshine throws the rule book out and plays it straight from the heart, no tricks, no frills, no BS. This is rock-n-roll, the kind you’ve been missing.
