Gunship, a band deeply imbued with the spirit of the 1980s, weaves its music with a blend of nostalgic synthwave and modern electronica. The group emerged from the ashes of the British indie rock band Fightstar, with Dan Haigh and Alex Westaway carrying forward their passion for music into a new dimension marked by retro-futuristic soundscapes. After enlisting drummer Alex Gingell, the trio embarked on a sonic journey that has since garnered a dedicated following.

Gunship's music is characterized by its cinematic quality, often incorporating references to '80s pop culture, science fiction, and cyberpunk aesthetics. Their songs are rich tales crafted with evocative synthesizers, poignant lyrics, and collaborations that bridge the gap between genres and generations. Tracks like "Send Me An Angel" and "Black Blood Red Kiss" showcase the band's ability to meld moody, atmospheric sounds with unforgettable hooks, while collaborations with artists such as Carpenter Brut, Gavin Rossdale, and Dave Lombardo in pieces like "DooM Dance" and "Berserker" exemplify Gunship's penchant for fusion and evolution within the dark corners of nostalgic music. With their growing discography, Gunship continues to reign as one of the leading figures in the synthwave revival, adored for their homage to the past while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of the genre's future.
