Austin’s Guns Of Navarone have wrapped up their first music video for the track “Winnipeg, Manitoba” and are setting it loose on the world along with the single. The song was originally released on their debut EP Singles, and has remained such a fan favorite that the band decided it would be the right fit for their debut video. Directed by Daniel Fabelo and produced by Match Point Productions, the video presents scenes of the band performing the song and a mixed bag of characters including a rabbit, an owl, and a couple of guest vocalists.They do grown them cold up there, and yes…it snows in Texas.

While the influence of bands like Uncle Tupelo and/or The Replacements might make themselves evident in the sounds of the Austin based four piece band Guns of Navarone, the band has skillfully crafted a sound that meshes their taste while maintaining a sound uniquely their own. The outfit’s debut full-length release Prize and Battlefield demonstrates a depth of songwriting talent and range. From the guitar-driven rock anthem “Resonate” to the country-tinged, whiskey-soaked “I Bid You Farewell” Guns of Navarone cover plenty of ground, and provide something for any fan of rock-n-roll. A year in the making, Prize and Battlefield demonstrates the bands patience and desire to perfect their songs and their sound.

“..their simple approach to songwriting and fast paced punk-country is a welcome refresher to the often times watered down indie scene full of “weird” and “complex” bands.” -Austin Town Hall
“With Prize and Battlefield, you get exposed to something a little more raw, almost like a mix of Southern rock, pop and punk. The band also prefers to keep their songs short, driven by melody, and engaging without oversimplifying. Winning formula.
” -KUT Austin Music Minute
Prize and Battlefield is 10 tracks of the real deal – it will make you want to two-step and fist pump, simultaneously. This is the kind of music that makes me want to sit on a wide front porch, drink real root beer, and think about ex-boyfriends.” -Side One: Track One
