WAIT WHAT IS THIS?
WHO ARE YOU?
WHY WOULD I GIVE YOU MY EMAIL?

We’re Gun Control. 

We’re in Vancouver, Canada. 

We were #lofi before it hooked up with hip hop, now we’re noise pop, alt rock, noise rock, and waiting for a better genre description from those who care.  

This Is Us

This Is Us

We’ve put out an album and some singles. You must have heard some to have made it this far. The term DIY gets thrown around a lot as a sound, a scene, a kind of band, but we truly do try to do it all ourselves. That’s probably really obvious on our earliest tracks (link) – those were all done straight from an iPhone into Garageband. Maybe a little less obvious on Volume 1  but we did everything other than mastering on that ourselves. Did all of the vocals in studios at the Vancouver library! 
We screen print our own shirts, hand make our pins, build our own websites, do our own marketing. Take your pick and we are probably doing, or plotting how to do it ourselves.
Why? Well, for some people music is a driving passion that they will pursuit with the white hot passion of the sun, burning the cash in their pockets along the way. We’ve all kinda done that already. Now we’re much more into burning life force at a manageable pace to release recordings that we are happy with, while being completely in control of our output. 
That’s where the email comes in! We’re now at a point with our song catalog that we have way more to share than can be done through “proper” streaming channels. Rather than tossing them into the void of Bandcamp and Soundcloud with #hashtag life jackets in hopes of them being discovered, we’d rather just give them straight to those who want them, along with all the tales that we’d have to beg blogs to tell on our behalf. No shade to blogs, but the energy we have is for making music and going straight to listeners, if people choose to spread the word from there we’re ecstatic.
Plus, not all of these songs are going to be finely polished productions looking to compete with music trying to break through to anyone in the 20,000 new songs a day battle royal – some of our favourite songs were recorded to tape, bootlegged through a phone, b-sides, and demos from the likes of Guided By Voices, Weezer, and Liz Phair. The right songs for the right people.
If you are here and reading this, we think we’ve got the right songs for you – and we’d like to give you them.

Along with the music we’ve also our DIY trials and info to share. Whether you too are a musician looking for how to solder your own patch cables, or someone who wants to dabble in the art of at home screen printing, we’re going to package up that knowledge and give you the option of choosing to get additional emails to see behind the curtain and decide “This looks fun!” or “Hooray! I will pay someone else to do this.” Either way, we’re happy to help. Empowered creatives make the world better!
