Guns was released on Monday January 22 of 2024. Drummer Steve Riley&#8217;s (RIP) birthday. This album was recorded awhile ago while Steve was still with us. Like their first album called Renegades as this lineup (Steve on drums, bassist Kelly Nickels, singer\/guitarist Kurt Frohlich, and guitarist Scott Griffin), the band again made a very ROCKING album. I preordered the CD but went ahead and bought it on ITunes so I could go ahead and start playing it. I&#8217;m glad I did because I cannot stop listening to it. All the songs are great. It&#8217;s a perfect album. Sadly, though, I&#8217;m guessing this is the last album as this band, since Steve is now gone, and I&#8217;m guessing they are not carrying on without him. But I am glad they got to be together while they were and made two AMAZING albums and were a great live band too. Check out this album and Renegades. You won&#8217;t regret it. Rest In Peace Steve!!!!\u00a0 I love you and thank you for the music and your kindness!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-album-reviews","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24963"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25017,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24963\/revisions\/25017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
