Sound of Guns release their new single ‘Alcatraz’ on March 8th through Distiller Records.

They have also produced an amazing new video to accompany their forthcoming single.

The Liverpool band broke through the ranks via "BBC Introducing" last year.

Since then the band have had many highlights, including playing at Radio One’s Big Weekend, a main stage performance at Latitude festival and four performances at Glastonbury festival.

They rounded-off the year with a show at the inaugural Sound City festival in Dubai and opening Liverpool’s Music Week.

Their debut EP ‘Elementary of Youth’ was Zane Lowe’s ‘hottest record in the world’ on his Radio One show.

They have also been tipped for great things from the likes of Q, The Guardian, Rocksound and The Fly.

Steve Lamacq also featured them as his favourite new band on his 6music show.
