The McGunks formed in 2003 out of the remains of other notable Boston area bands with a goal of writing songs for the modern drunkard. Using classic 50’s pop rock sensibility and a strong punk rock ethic combined with roots rock styles as diverse as country and celtic music The McGunks have discovered a way to create songs that are both familiar and new. With song titles such as “3 More Beers” and “Can’t Drink Here No More” it is easy to figure out what The McGunks influence is. In 2005 The McGunks released their first full length album entitled “Here Comes the Shame” independently to favorable reviews. That album, which was re-released in 2008 due to popular demand, enabled The McGunks to perform on select dates of the 2005 warped tour, a finals position in the 2006 WBRU rock hunt as well as sharing the stage with notable Boston area bands such as Street Dogs & the Ducky Boys. The band, Bob Kadlec (vocals/guitar), Robb Wilkerson "Drunk Robb" (guitar/vocals), Jonathan Kline "Jonny Red" (drums), and Pete Martone (bass/vocals) have just released six new songs on the first volume of the 666 Split CD series and are currently working on their next recording and looking to perform for a regional audience.
