Gunhill Road
Gunhill Road Attacks Fraudsters with a Powerful New Rocker, “Damn Scammers (Get Off My Phone).” Gunhill Road, the timeless band that has been creating multi-genre rock and pop music spanning more than five decades, has released a stunning new song and video titled, “Damn Scammers (Get Off My Phone).” The piece – which is a no-holds-barred attack on the rise of scams and fraud in our society - is an advance release from the band’s forthcoming fifth album. Gunhill Road has developed a unique niche in recent years attracting tens of thousands of internet followers powered, in large part, by the attention and airplay given it on talk radio. New songs by the group typically debut on hundreds of radio talk shows sparking conversation about today’s pressing topics of news and social concern. The compositions feature clever, candid lyrics delivered in a highly musical and original way. The band consists of co-founding member/pianist/vocalist Steve Goldrich, longtime guitarist/vocalist Paul Reisch, noted Broadway theater instrumentalist/guitarist/vocalist Brian Koonin, and radio legend/TALKERS publisher/vocalist Michael Harrison. The provocative video for “Damn Scammers (Get Off My Phone)” was produced by Matthew B. Harrison. The song, a powerful rocker marked by driving guitars, riveting keyboards, an exuberant group chorus and a compelling lead vocal by Brian Koonin, expresses the frustration we all face in an increasingly dangerous environment marked by the rising corruption of identity theft, charity scams, grandparent scams, imposter scams, mail fraud, romance scams, lottery scams, crypto scams, blackmail, phishing and disingenuous institutions.
Gunhill Road Releases Special Tribute Song in Advance of World Radio Day 2024.
Gunhill Road – the enduring band that has been making multi-genre rock and pop music spanning more than five decades, has released a brand new song and video titled “Over The Radio Waves” just in time for World Radio Day 2024 (February 13). The song is a heartfelt tribute to the continuing influence of radio around the world and calls for broadcasters and listeners alike “to all stand together” in celebrating the 13th annual edition of the United Nations/UNESCO-designated international day. Gunhill Road has developed a unique niche in recent years along with tens of thousands of internet followers powered in large part to the attention and airplay given it by talk radio as a result of the group addressing topics of news and social concern in a highly musical and creative way.
“I Got a Line in New York City” is another exciting advance track from GUNHILL ROAD’s forthcoming fifth album. The song is a genre-bending combination of jazz, rock and blues with a Broadway flair. Further energized by its provocative music video, “I Got a Line in New York City” is slightly abstract and even mystical – while, simultaneously, heart-tugging and down-to-earth. The engaging narrative puts a new twist on the classic story of a young person with dreams of making it on the stage facing the cold, harsh reality of the big time. The visual images that bring stunning dimension to the video were created by human artists tapping into the assistance of leading-edge generative AI.
I Know You're Real
(Spoken Version)
This animal welfare anthem is performed by Michael Harrison, the legendary radio personality, and Gunhill Road member, who also penned the lyrics.
I Know You're Real
(Sung Version)
Though similar to the spoken version, this spirited rendition is sung by our member, Brian Koonin; also a recording, Broadway, and concert performer.
Gunhill Road pays tribute to the victims of 9-11 commemorating the 22nd anniversary of the tragic attack. “My Friend is Going Away” appears on the “What Year Is THIS!” album.” The video takes the emotional song to a new dimension. It is a sad but hopeful look back at that unforgettable day with a strong element of love, hope and renewal for the future.
