about
The Indie rock band Gun Runner was started by Sean Davenport when he moved back to his hometown of San Diego, California after decamping from Brooklyn, where he played keyboards in the indie buzz band Abigail Warchild. Give a listen and one might conclude: the sound of Gun Runner could’ve come from, really, just about anywhere. True? Maybe. But that’s only geographically speaking. Because their aural identity is distinct and comes with indisputably identifiable source names. Such as creatively hands-on keyboardist (Wurlitzer, organ, more) and principal vocalist Sean Davenport, given to a signature soulful croon with ominous edge and anxious texture, evident in deeper brooding or up-swooping falsetto. It’s a voice that can make any song compelling — which works out nicely, considering Gun Runner’s already catchy bevy of tuneage. Their well-drawn originals come in tones of rock & roll, R&B, what-is-this and mixtures thereof, along with a fine use of open space and a fresh coat of judiciously applied alt-art-ambient-etc User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
