I've seen Pete Overstreet playing around town for more years than I care to put a number to, but the line up he has now in Spirit Gun marks a new era in his musical progression. Oren Lev on the skins with Stephen Siegel on bass packs a powerhouse punch matched with Overstreet's stellar vocal prowess. Listen to me carefully: this is a band that can go toe to toe with any in the city and deserves attention. I mean that. ANY band in the city. My only gripe is that there's no record behind them. I need it now. - Antonym Press

Bio
Spirit Gun is a hard-hitting power trio based in Norfolk, Virginia. The band's blending of punk-rock energy, gritty garage rock, complex metal timing, and soulful vocals has created a distinctive original sound and a powerful live show experience. Only knowing one speed - full throttle - the boys go on a sonic journey whether they are playing for 2 people or 200.
Pete Overstreet, lead singer and guitarist, combines deep soulful vocals with ravishing punk-rock riffs; Tony Burgess, bassist and backup vocalist, brings the melody and musicianship, and Oren Lev, drummer and backup vocalist, has precise timing and beats the drums as hard as any one man possibly can. Together, each band member brings their own spin to a sound that has become all their own.
Spirit Gun is all about changing perspectives and bringing people out into the world to experience the power of Rock n' Roll.
Come to the show and see why Spirit Gun has been called one of the best live bands in the city!
