[edit] History
Under Pressure are a continuation of the band Guns, Liquor and Whores, whose guitarist left the band late in 2002. The band started practicing with a new guitarist and in early 2003 played their first show. Their sound and image had changed considerably, so they decided that a name change was appropriate.
