Drunks With Guns is a foundational force in sludge punk and noise rock, born in 1984 out of St. Louis, Missouri. Known for their raw, relentless sound and a string of influential early releases, they helped shape a genre that blends heavy riffs with experimental grit. After an initial run that produced three self-released 7\" EPs (1985–1987) and a bootleg black album that paused their original momentum in 1987, the band returned with a formal discography spanning 1987–1999 and later archival remasters. The 2023–2025 revival has brought remastered material like Fucked Up On Beer & Drugs and Drunks With Guns Live, released through TIRC Records and collaborators, keeping the band’s legacy alive for new audiences. The 2025 tour marks their first East Coast run since the late 1980s and early 1990s, with announced shows in New York City and Philadelphia.
