Formed in Brighton in 1987, The Popguns soon received critical acclaim in the music press and recorded 2 John Peel sessions before releasing their first album, Eugenie, in 1990. This included the 1st single "Landslide" which made a 1989 Peel Festive 50 entry as well as "Waiting For The Winter", a fans' favourite which is now close to 100,000 youtube views. This was followed by 2 more albums, SNOG in 1991 and Lovejunky in 1994, as well as various singles featuring in the music press indie-charts of the day.
They are now back with a new album "Pop Fiction" (released in 2015 on Matinee Recordings) which has received BBC 6 Music airplay and featured as the number 1 or number 2 "album of the year" on numerous indie blog sites (e.g. http://lineartrackinglives.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/the-popguns-aim-high-and-hit-bulls-eye.html). Since returningThe Popguns have played headline gigs in New York, Paris, Berlin and Barcelona as well as the UK Indie-tracks festival and shows a little closer to their Brighton home. Expect another new album towards the end on 2016.
