Ninja Gun are a band who truly defy conventions. They have toured with acts like the Gaslight Anthem and Against Me! but their sound is rooted in ‘70s power-pop and classic rock. They’ve released split 7-inches with Fake Problems and Leatherface, yet despite being an active part of the underground punk community they’ve always followed their own path both musically and ideologically. In other words, call their music whatever you want but with Roman Nose Ninja Gun have proved that they’re just going to go ahead and make some of the most interesting rock music around regardless of what’s popular or trendy.
Heartfelt and full off inspiration. This album is filled with Organic melodies in the key of romance. Ninja Gun said it best when they quoted their style as gutter pop. Producer Lee Dyess has some of the most amazing tones in our country and I just had the privilege of gracing my ears with the Roman Nose EP. The EP is composed of acoustic guitars, stellar fender overtones and an array of rock progressions. If you are a fan of Saves the Day or Dashboard Confessional, you’re sure to love this band. The portrait painted is a tropical getaway. Dig your feet in the sand, grab a drink and enjoy. ‘Les Murderous
