Bio
POPGUN n : plaything consisting of a toy gun that makes a popping sound. The child's toy popgun shoots an ordinary percussion cap on its nipple and has a spring mechanism in the barrel that shoots corks or marbles. PARIAHS n : a group who is rejected (from society or home). The word pariah can be used for anyone who is a social outcast, independent of social position.
Imagine if Sonic Youth, The Pixies, At The Drive-In and Talking Heads had a kicking, screaming child who inherited all the best traits of its parents: eruptions of guitar noise, vividly theatrical vocals and epic, ornate instrumentation. That child’s name is Popgun Pariahs. The band's approach is stark and direct while still maintaining an experimental edge. Vocals that can jump from a discreet melodic whisper to an inhuman scream (often within the same song), guitars that screech and slash with rhythmic tension, ray-gun synthesizers, thunderous basslines and propulsive drums are their weapons of choice. With a live show that is nothing less than explosive, an already dedicated fanbase and songs to match, these kids strive to achieve their ultimate goal: rocking out and opening your ears.
