Who is Handguns?
We have no idea who or what Handguns is. Must be something the kids are listening to these days or something.
The band is based in Harrisburg and apparently has a strong regional following.
According to Substreammagazine.com, the original members of the band Handguns reunited in 2017. The band only formed in 2008 but has seen quite a few lineup changes.
Regardless of who’s in the band, the locals here seem excited by the news dropped on Monday night.
Here’s what some had to say on Twitter in response.
Some wonder if they’re reading it right:
