Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Only Ones' 'Baby's Got a Gun' was the final studio album from the band's original run, preserving Peter Perrett's sardonic songwriting and the group's unstable mix of punk, power pop, and damaged romanticism. The album sharpens their melodic side while retaining a sense of collapse and dark wit.
