Kevin McKeown (guitar, lead vocals) and Eric Owen (drums) met in kindergarten at a North Toronto elementary school and started playing rock music in high school Their wild and energetic sound has been described as a mix of classic southern rock and garage punk, garnering comparisons to early Kings of Leon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Black Keys, and Clutch. It’s clear that the band’s sound spans many different eras and subgenres, relying on a classic rock and roll sound that has been updated for our modern times. Recently, their valiant steed AKA Eric's car broke down, the original Dodge Neon which transported them to-and-from every show. This will be the inspiration for their upcoming European tour.

Black Pistol Fire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back from the bottom went straight to the top
Rode that sucker 'til the wheels break off
I and a Mama in to do-see-do
Drop in like a rocker leave you comatose
Preach from the heaven I cut from the tip
Split your big lip then I do it again

Line by Line Meaning

Back from the bottom went straight to the top
I rose from the lowest point to the highest point of success

Rode that sucker 'til the wheels break off
I persevered and worked hard until I achieved my goal

I and a Mama in to do-see-do
I joined together with a partner to dance the do-si-do

Drop in like a rocker leave you comatose
I enter with high energy and leave a lasting impact on others

Preach from the heaven I cut from the tip
I speak with authority and conviction from my own personal experience

Split your big lip then I do it again
I am not afraid to take risks and will continue to push boundaries and try again despite any setbacks
