For those who aren’t familiar with the band, can you describe the sound that is Handguns? I'll put it very literally: We are a pop punk band. We grew up on drive thru and fat wreck bands. We aren't really anything groundbreaking, however, I would like to think we put our own little touch on things.
You recently released your latest album, ‘Angst’. How was the writing and recording process for the album? Angst was written last year in a storage unit. We compiled all the songs and took them to webster lake studios and got to work. Chris Curran was very easy to work with and knew the direction we wanted the record to go.
When ‘Angst’ was released, what was the reaction from your fans? I would say it was definitely an assortment of mixed reactions. That's how it usually goes though as you can't please everybody and I can accept that.
What was the main inspiration for ‘Angst’? 2011 was quite the year and angst is a compilation of all the personal things that were affecting us last year.
