She Drew The Gun started in 2013 as a solo project by singer-songwriter Louisa Roach. Her debut album Memories Of The Future (2015) was produced by The Coral’s James Skelly, who added haunting riffs and an electronic element to Roach’s poetic narrative lyrics.

Since then, the project gradually expanded. Siân Monaghan (drums), Jack Turner (guitar) and Jenni Kickhefer (keyboards) joined, and made She Drew The Gun the four-piece it currently is.

Following Resister and Something For The Pain, Paradise is the third single taken from the band’s latest album Revolution Of Mind (2018), which was once again produced by James Skelly. “It’s like a bad advert for capitalism, as if it was a product in some grotesque 1950’s ad. The free market is so wonderful isn’t it?” says Louisa Roach of Paradise. “It’s supposed to make everything great when really it’s just a paradise for the rich and privileged, but there’s trouble on the breeze because it’s completely unsustainable.”
