Tenacious Scottish rockers GUN are delighted to reveal a monster, 33-track extended edition of latest album Hombres, in conjunction with the gritty new Samuel L. Jackson blockbuster Damaged, which features multiple of its tracks.
Directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, Killing Eve), action-thriller Damaged – starring Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Marvels, Django Unchained) and Vincent Cassel (La Haine, Black Swan, The Three Musketeers) – follows a Chicago police detective who goes to Scotland after an emerging serial killer’s crimes match those that he investigated five years earlier, one of which was the crime scene of his murdered girlfriend. Also starring are Gianni Capaldi, John Hannah, and Kate Dickie.
Today GUN also drop new single “Pride”, the perfect accompaniment to a thrilling chase scene in the new film. Damaged has already hit screens in the USA, but British fans will have a wait a while longer, until it premieres on Amazon Prime on October 4th. Meanwhile, you can watch the trailer for the film on YouTube to whet your appetite.

Earlier this month, the Scottish rock stalwarts marked the 30th anniversary of their iconic single “Word Up!” Originally released way back in July 1994, this rocked-up remake of Cameo’s 1986 Top 5 smash hit not only became GUN’s biggest hit but also won them their first-ever MTV Europe Music Award (EMA) in Berlin. The song was originally made famous by Cameo, an American funk group known for their flamboyant frontman.
GUN’s rendition of “Word Up!” was far from a novelty. By the time they recorded it for their aptly named 1994 album Swagger, GUN had already released two albums, Taking On The World (1989) and Gallus (1992), and had achieved eight self-penned Top 75 singles. The idea of infusing rock guitars into “Word Up!” started as a bit of fun in their rehearsal room.
Watch the song’s original official video here and GUN’s electrifying “Word Up!” performance on Top of the Pops here.
