GUN premiere 'Take Me Back Home' video – watch
The latest taster of new album 'Hombres'
Scottish rockers GUN have premiered their new single ‘Take Me Back Home’ and its accompanying video.
The track was premiered on Breakfast with Paul Anthony on Planet Rock this morning (11th January) and you can watch the video, directed by Kieran Howe and Morsecode, in all its glory below.
Commenting on the track, singer Dante Gizzi says: "'Take Me Back Home' is a song that encompasses all aspects of obsession and determination.
“I had a deep fixation with a driving arcade game called Outrun when I was a kid. The track relates with the idea of the high octane intensity and the will to complete the next level, which was always within reach but always out of grasp."

Just like ‘All Fired Up’, ‘Take Me Back Home’ is lifted from GUN’s new album ‘Hombres’, which is released on Friday 12th April 2024 via Cooking Vinyl.
It’s the first album to feature new full-time guitarist Ruaraidh "Roo" Macfarlane, and it follows 2017’s Top 20 album ‘Favourite Pleasures.’
The 13 tracks on ‘Hombres’ were recorded and produced by Simon Bloor (Trevor Horn) with mixing by Daryl Thorpe (Foo Fighters) at Morsecode Studios and Strongroom Studio.
The record boasts guest vocals from Beverley Skeete (Elton John, Chaka Khan, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash), Mary Pearce (Primal Scream, Lionel Ritchie, Chaka Khan) and Sarah-Jane Skeete (Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Bill Wyman) of The Sisterhood on several tracks, as well as a guest performance on the drums from Joe Lazerus of Twin Atlantic.
Guitarist Giuliano “Jools” Gizzi enthuses: "This is one of the proudest pieces of work we've ever done, truly it's Gun in its finest form."
His brother Dante adds: “We are proud of the new record and know the fans will love it. We always try to push forward and innovate; it’s essential as it’s how we keep ourselves passionate and excited about making music after so long together. It’s important to bring new blood and fresh ideas into the band, too, and Ru has already added a new dynamic.”
