Shotgun Alley
About Shotgun Alley from Auckland
Whether you call it hard rock, cock rock, melodic rock, pop-metal, glam or sleaze, Shotgun Alley can be named one of New Zealand’s hottest rock bands to make their mark in the Kiwi Music Industry. Their dynamic sound can be described as a combination of music legends such as Guns N Roses, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Poison, Alice Cooper and Van Halen.
Shotgun Alley, formally known as Suicide Boulevard formed in late Janurary 2009 by Dave Wong and Scotty Rocker (the band’s lead guitarist and drummer respectively).
Shotgun Alley’s music background is varied - band history includes: Streetwise Scarlet, False Start, Cold By Winter, and Slide. Dave Wong from False Start history includes two album releases and various tours through out New Zealand and Australia. Scotty Rocker (drummer/vocals) began his career as a tech, touring Europe with rock punk act ‘Sommerset’ to return to join Auckland punk band ‘Cold By Winter"’. Rocker then went on to launch pop rock band Streetwise Scarlet who had great success on both TV and radio in New Zealand.
The band have been in the studio, demoing new material for their upcoming début album – their yet to be released single ‘Give it up for Rock’ has already featured in the Demon Energy carwash TV advertisement.
I have to say that my fave song is the pop sounding one: 'I came here to love you'! All the best shotgun alley,awesome band and vocals!
