Biography
Formed in 2009, Gunfire 76 emerged from the creative partnership of Joseph Poole—better known to many as Wednesday 13—and guitarist Todd Youth. The duo aimed to fuse glam-rock flamboyance with darker, horror-inflected themes, anchored by Poole’s distinctive vocal delivery and Youth’s seasoned guitar work. Based in North Carolina, Gunfire 76 quickly drew attention for their theatrical style and raw, energetic performances that bridged garage rock grit with glam sensibilities.
