NEWS - TAILGUNNER Announces New Album “Midnight Blitz”, out February 6, 2026 via Napalm Records!

Carrying the torch of NWOBHM are TAILGUNNER! Recently signed to Napalm Records, the young British band announces their upcoming sophomore record, "Midnight Blitz", out February 6, 2026. Drawing heavily from classic heavy metal sounds, TAILGUNNER have found support in the very heroes they follow: after making a strong impression supporting KK's Priest, legendary guitarist K.K. Downing went on to produce "Midnight Blitz". The dynamic album now pushes the genre forward just like its influences once did, with TAILGUNNER always crafting their sound and building on what they have, whilst never compromising on what they started with.

TAILGUNNER are:
Craig Cairns - Vocals
Rhea Thompson - Lead Guitar
Zach Salvini - Lead Guitar
Bones - Bass Guitar
Eddie Mariotti - Drums
