Gun Runner

Gun Runner

Gun Runner is an indie rock band started by Sean Davenport after he moves back to his hometown of San Diego, California from Brooklyn. Before forming Gun Runner, Davenport plays keyboards in the indie band Abigail Warchild.

Style and sound

The group’s sound draws on rock and roll, R&B and alternative approaches, with open space and alt-art-ambient elements in the arrangements. Davenport handles keyboards, including Wurlitzer and organ, and serves as the principal vocalist. His singing uses a soulful croon with an edge of tension and texture, ranging from lower, brooding delivery to falsetto.

Line-up and identity

The project centres on Davenport as the main creative force. The music is described as distinctive rather than tied to any single region, with clearly recognisable vocal and keyboard-led traits. Gun Runner’s songs are noted for being catchy and for blending multiple styles within its indie rock framework.
