Distant Guns are a two man recording army, whose mission is to explore the frontiers of the DIY ethic, by regularly releasing self-produced 4-track EPs. Each CD release is strictly limited edition and has handmade artwork that complements the EP’s theme and makes each copy slightly unique. They cannot be purchased for love or money, but are sent out at random to fans on the Distant Guns mailing list. Distant Guns are deeply suspicious of the Myspace phenomenon (& social networking sites in general) and lament that the word 'friend' has been so devalued. If this offends your sensibilities, it's probably best if you switch off the computer, go for a walk and try to work out the crucial difference between 'making friends' and 'adding' them. Distant Guns are 'gear heads' and claim to have used the following so far: Fender Jazzmaster & Stratocaster guitars, a medium chisel, Focusrite compressors, Fender Jaguar bass, Stella Artois, Boss pedals (especially the PS-3 Pitchshifter / Delay), birdsong, Ashdown bass amplification, Soundforge, Garrison G-30 acoustic guitar, Rode microphones, E-fects Scrambl-E & Bias Fuzz pedals, righteous anger, Eventide Eclipse, 9V batteries, SONAR, Roland XV-5050, kitchen scissors (get an adult to help you), Vox amplifiers, Dr.Rhythm DR-55, Robert Keeley FX, Lexicon Vortex, toy xylophone, Rickenbacker 360 12-string guitar, Hohner Harmonium, rally cars, Ampeg amplification, Electro-Harmonix POG2, home-made piezo contact microphones, "Magnetic" cider, Olympus S914 cassette dictaphone with dying batteries, Line 6 M13, E13 Truly Beautiful Disaster, Fredric Grumbly Wolf, Harmonic Percolator & PFXM Jehovadrive pedals, Fender Baritone Special guitar, a theremin built into a TARDIS, Amdek Percussion Synthesizer, 1968 Yamaha SB-5A bass, Roland V-Drums, Fender "Input Device" Telecaster, ZVex pedals, Line 6 UX8, Martin D15 12-string guitar, sleighbells, Barry Seaborne, microKorg, Digitech XP-1000 Jetpack.
