Shotgun Alley
Whether you call it hard rock, cock rock, melodic rock, pop-metal, glam or sleaze, Shotgun Alley can be named one of New Zealand’s hottest rock bands to make their mark In the Kiwi music industry.
Shotgun Alley, formerly known as Suicide Boulevard, was formed in late January 2009 by Davie Love and Scotty Rocker (the band’s lead guitarist and drummer respectively). ‘’The name just reminded me of cowboy boots, girls, jack & rock n roll,’’ says Rocker. The band are based in Auckland and their intent is to reach not only a national but global audience, with support from their new management, The Brat Agency.
Recently, Shotgun Alley supported Alice Cooper on his ‘Theatre of Death’ tour in Auckland and shared the stage with glam metal band Steel Panther in Los Angeles.
"Shotgun Alley is a modern day throwback to the seminal days of rock n roll on the Sunset Strip in the 80s and 90s and are part glam, part metal, part rock, part kick you in the teeth with an immediate round of shots of Jack Daniels to follow as if you were in the band yourself. If their electrifying performance at the legendary Viper Room last week on The Strip is just a hint of what is to come then I can attest that Shotgun Alley is exactly what the world at large needs." - Mack Hill, Sony Music Entertainment
"Shotgun Alley are today's answer to Mötley Crüe. Their look, attitude and most importantly, their sound is nothing short of awesome…Takes me back to the 1989 Sunset Strip music scene. These dudes are here for bullshit-free, kick yourself in the face GLAM ROCK." - Jason Mac, The Rock FM
"Shotgun Alley gives a major dose of rock & roll that is part Guns, part Alice, part Mötley and ALL Shotgun!!! It warms my heart to see the way these guys deliver the goods! They are ”Sunset Strip” rock at its finest!" - Tommy Nast, Rock Band Ent.
"I've had the pleasure of watching Shotgun Alley grow from their very first gig with a set list of 5 songs into a veritable rock power house, with a whole set of flame throwing tunes packed with hooks and chutzpah, and these guys are so full of live raw energy that on stage they can hardly be contained. That their new recordings capture every bit of that wild intensity bodes well for the future of this inspiring NZ import." - Geordie Gillespie, Unleashed Music
