Tailgunner

UK

Tailgunner from the UK are proud representatives of the NWOTHM (New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal). They formed officially on New Year’s Day 2022 by bassist Tom Hewson, released the EP ”Crashdive” the same year and their debut album ”Guns for hire” in 2023. The latter in particular met with intense praise and the coming follow-up is being produced by none other than Judas Priest legend K.K. Downing. Expect timeless heavy metal-speed and cool vocals by Craig Cairns in songs like ”New horizons” when Tailgunner debut at SRF.
