The Gun Club is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Robin Guthrie, The Blasters, Debbie Harry, The Damned and Dave Alvin.

They run in the same orbit as Minutemen, Wire, The Pop Group, Public Image Ltd. and Au Pairs, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Pixies, Jessica Pratt, Algiers, Ruby Throat and 16 Horsepower, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
