Resurrection of the Synthesizer and 80s Sounds
GUNSHIP is leading the Synthwave revolution
Their first self-titled album ‘Gunship’, was released in 2015 and is good no doubt! Their follow up, Dark All Day, released in October 2018 is really something special that you must listen to. The band are using a large collection of synthesizers including: Roland Juno 106, DSI Prophet 12, DSI Prophet 6, MOOG Minimoog, MOOG Mother 32.
The permanent band members are: Alex Westaway, Dan Haigh, and Alex Gingell. Their albums usually would include quite a few collaborators like: Charlie Simpson, John Carpenter, Tim Cappello, Richard K. Morgan, and others.

RELEASED: July 24, 2015
