A tablespoon of Buzzcocks, some Teenage Fanclub, a scent of Nick Lowe, a drop of Kinks and maybe a dash of Queens of the Stone Age, and you´re pretty close...but most of all they sound like themselves! Or the Lemonheads on speed, as a writer once claimed. POPGUN was somewhat of a side-project for Drummer Palle and Bassman Egil since the late 90`s, only release being an EP in 1999, but in 2004 they decided it was about time to get focused and kick some real a**! The song "Why is it?" was recorded and ended up on a promo-release for Norwegian Broadcasting Corp, Channel P3, and got POPGUN on the list of "the 10 most exiting bands in Norway" in 2004. The summer of 2006 the band released their debut album " A Day and a Half in Half a Day"(Stack/Indie), from where "Mr. Unconcerned" got its` share of airplay on Norwegian Radio P3, and the video for "Sunset in Reverse" rolled on TV- channel ZTV. POPGUN launched their 2nd album "Manic Anti-Depressive" in Spain and Japan in November 2008, through Spanish label Wild Punk Records, to throughout great reviews! POPGUN has been aired on National and local radio in Spain, the U.K. the U.S., France, Germany, Scandinavia as well as a whole bunch of podcasts. And here it is on Cd Baby, too:-) !! Quotes about POPGUN; "Popgun bring to mind bands like Weezer, Cheap Trick and The Cars, but luckily they are no cheap copy! I won´t be eagerly anticipating the next Weezer-album, but I´ll definitely check in the future what these guys are into! POPGUN is more catchy than swine-flu!!" (review of "Manic.." in SubbaCultcha, U.K. 2010) "This is not typical Scandinavian Rock but more like heavy Brit-punk. The tunes are bouncy, breezy and oddly cheerful, which contradicts the lyrical themes. In fact the lyrics to all the songs are innovative and original with the odd flash of brilliance!" (review of "Manic.." in Black Velvet Magazine, U.K. 2010) "Unbelivably catchy!!" ( Jury of "Best Norwegian Underground Act" 2004) " A fantastic album! Everybody should have one!!" (Channel P3, Norway) "Not a copy of neither The Kinks, Faces nor The Beatles, but a powerful trio making music with both muscles and melodies" (Record Review of debut-album, in AA/RB, Norwegian paper) "Makes me think of Lemonheads on speed" (Danish rock Magazine GAFFA) "Embracing the classics while creating new sounds in music is a difficult endeavour; POPGUN has done so with style and a proper ounce of grit! These guys are musical wonders with their own compass!" (Earbuzz.com, review of debut-album" "The brothers Gallagher would've killed for a song like "All or Nothing", The Dandy Warhols would've done the same for "Sting Me"! (Review of "Manic Anti-Depressive" in Spanish magazine Pasajes Electricos) "This album is astonishing, in the way they manage to fling a wide variety of influences into one melting pot without losing track once...the result is almost a brutal sound....If they continue to deliver like this, they are gonna hit big-time! (review of "Manic Anti-Depressive" in Valladolid Music Web , Spain, January 2009.) " Ramones meets Jane's Addiction??"
