Bang Bang Firecracker are a hard-hitting rock ’n’ roll power trio from Stoke-on-Trent, delivering high-octane, no-nonsense heavy rock for fans of Motörhead, The Almighty and early Iron Maiden. Known for their raw energy and unapologetic live shows, the band bridge the ferocity of classic metal with a contemporary, riff-driven punch – and live, it’s strictly all thriller, no filler.

Formed by guitarist Kieron Berry in 2018 following time on the road with W.A.S.P. founder Chris Holmes, Bang Bang Firecracker began as a writing and recording project before rapidly evolving into a full-throttle live band. The line-up is completed by Bobby Ansell on drums and Paul Challinor on bass and backing vocals. Paul joined BBF in 2026 and brings a ferocious, headbanging stage energy that now matches the animal intensity of Bobby Ansell’s aggressive, signature drumming style and Kieron Berry’s relentless riffage and roaring vocals, locking the band into its most explosive live form to date.

With two albums released to date and five instalments of their Seven Deadly Singles series already out (with the series set to be completed this year), Bang Bang Firecracker have built strong momentum across the underground rock and metal scene. The band have recently completed three European tours and established themselves as a standout presence on the UK festival circuit, earning a reputation for sweat-soaked performances, blistering riffs and uncompromising volume.

Proud to share their roots with Lemmy Kilmister, the band are renowned for delivering a suitably irreverent Jack Daniel’s toast and tribute to Motörhead during their live set – a signature moment where classic Motörhead energy is sandwiched between the band’s own massive original material. Loud, relentless and proudly old-school in spirit, Bang Bang Firecracker continue to carry the torch for dangerous, unfiltered rock ’n’ roll.
