Bring Guns / Bang Bang Firecracker / 54KG

Red Pen Glenn's 52nd Birthday Concert feat.

Bring Guns:

Bring Guns are a Classic Heavy Rock and Melodic Metal band from Manchester.

With a wide range of influences - from Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden to Motorhead and Opeth - the music is punchy and melodic with powerful vocals, backed by a solid driving rhythm section, and topped by twin lead guitars.

Originally formed shortly before COVID knocked the world for six, the line-up went through some short-lived changes over the next few years until, at the start of 2024, things finally came together for the current line-up which now has a varied, hour-long set of songs and a good number of successful gigs around the North-West of the UK under their belt.

They played one hell of a set at our Mountains Of Metal All Dayer at this very venue on Saturday July 5th to be exact and also headlined previous to this on Satrday March 22nd and completely blew the place away and going down incredible on both occasions. A band that's truly going from strength to strength who we originally had on as a support band to Arrow Valley in November 2024!

BANG BANG FIRECRACKER:

Get ready for Hard-Hittin, Ear-Splittin' Rock 'N' F*ck*n' Roll! Fans of Motorhead, The Almighty and early Iron Maiden will immediately connect with this trio from the bowels of Stoke-On-Trent!

The band started out as an inspired solo project conceived by Guitarist, Kieron ‘K’ Berry, after being on tour with Chris Holmes (W.A.S.P founder and Guitarist) in 2017. Over time, BBF have progressed and transformed into the full on trio of Kieron 'K' Berry (Guitar/Vocals), Marcus 'The Frequency of Indecency' Wrench (Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals) and Bobby 'The Power and The Glory' Ansell (Drums) who make up the Power Trio that is Bang Bang Firecracker.

They've released debut album, 'Welcome To The Slaughterhouse' & 3 killer EP's 'See Evil', 'Hear Evil,'Speak Evil' so far, not to mention playing numerous shows in many grassroot venues up and down the UK including our very own Yorkshireman and at a variety of Rock & Metal Festivals including 'Call Of The Wild', Hard Rock Hell 'Spring Break' & Hella Rock over the years!
