Shotgun, backed with Trigger The Alarm, will be released digitally on 26th March 2012. The second single from Eugene McGuinness' forthcoming much anticipated LP, due in June, is a smokin' track about 'crawling into the city and ramming your chin into somebody's teeth', according to Eugene.

The accompanying video was directed by the Grammy-nominated, Sundance-shortlisted Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern (thirtytwo), long term collaborators with Eugene McGuinness.
