Tailgunner are taking the UK (and slowly the world) by storm and considering they have only been around a short period of time, they have already accomplished so much! With their debut album ‘Guns For Hire’ burning up the pages of various magazines and a wealth of big shows behind them, it seems that their is nothing stopping them. And even the lost of a band member due to various reasons not to long ago did not stop these guys from delivering the metal. They were joined by Rhea Thompson back in May who is a massively talented and young guitarist. She initially stepped in for the band to help them out with a number of shows! Learning the bands set in a very short period of time she not only managed to do so but delivered live in every way possible. So it is no surprise that the band have welcomed her as a permanent member. Here is what they had to say on Facebook:

Please join us in welcoming to the band, our new permanent co-lead guitarist, the Mancunian shred machine herself Rhea Thompson

We are thrilled to have Rhea in for the long haul! From the moment she stepped up in May, learning the set in 3 days she has felt like the missing piece of our puzzle, playing far beyond what we were used to from the second guitar, allowing us to sound so much bigger – N’ we know all of you who caught a show over the Summer have been as blown away as we have!

Rhea says:

“I’m immensely proud and thrilled to be joining the band, and being part of the revolution to put British Heavy Metal back on the map!

I can’t wait to hit the road for the Guns For Hire tour, and I’m excited to be a part of Tailgunner’s journey!”

Now, we look forward to heading into the first leg of the Guns For Hire tour this October with Rhea in place, N’ a band more well oiled, super charged N’ hungrier than ever before to deliver Heavy Metal Mäyhem

We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to all who applied N’ especially that we auditioned over the last few months, we hope to see everyone out there kicking ass soon!

‘Gunners, ready yourselves. It’s all eyes to the skies, ready to fly like a Warhead. See ya on tour!
