Gal Gun - January 18th, 2018
from Radio One Chicago Hosted by Radio One Chicago
Shooting for understated complexity topped off by instantly accessible melodies, Gal Gun stands out from the crowded Chicago garage-rock scene. Drawing heavy influences from 90’s behemoths like Weezer and Blur while balancing a softer sound influenced by Belle & Sebastian and The Shins, their sound is equal parts familiar and refreshing. The band’s music and lyrics hope to strike a chord between triumph and heartbreak. Songs like “Heartbleed” obscure their more depressing nature with a slick power pop sheen. Gal Gun hopes to emulate Mancunian bands of the 80’s in their ability to hide a world-weary pessimism amidst a full pop stride and have fun doing it. Radio One Chicago airs live every Thursday night from 6p to 8p cst on WLUW-FM, 88.7f and streaming live on WLUW.ORG
