BRISAN – Shotgun
Format: Digital / Streaming
Label: Independent
Release date: November 6, 2026
UK rock band BRISAN have released their debut single, ‘Shotgun’, on November 6, 2026. The independently released track combines hard rock and Southern rock with classic rock influences and darker undertones.
The song addresses dishonesty, manipulation and the abuse of power. According to the band, ‘Shotgun’ is about recognising the lies behind manufactured fear and refusing to play along. The line “Bang, bang, bang like a shotgun to the face” represents the moment when manipulation becomes impossible to ignore.
BRISAN draw inspiration from a wide range of artists, including Guns N’ Roses, Nirvana, Seether, Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Gabriel. Their music brings together the raw energy of ’70s rock and the intensity of ’00s post-grunge, combining heavy riffs with melodic songwriting.
The band was formed by Steve Leonard in 2025 under the name Stephen Brian Leonard Band (SBLB), before adopting the name BRISAN. Their first performance took place at Leo’s Red Lion in Gravesend in April 2025, supporting Fury. The band subsequently appeared on the VIP stage at Maid of Stone Festival 2025 and played several other shows across the UK.
BRISAN have also received radio airplay in the UK and internationally, including on Planet Rock, Total Rock Radio, Scotland Rocks Radio and Barracuda Rock Radio in the Netherlands.
The band consists of Steve Leonard (vocals, guitar), Craig Southby (drums, backing vocals), Arran Greeno (guitar) and Will Chalmers (bass, backing vocals).
