"Happy Gun" is New Zealand band Stellar*'s first single, and their indies release. Interestingly, though Chris Van de Geer was not a part of the band at this point he mixed the title track (and even gets a thank-you mention in the single's linear notes). This indies release sees the band in a completely different genre than what their standard releases are like, featuring a heavy grunge rock arrangement for the first two tracks and an acoustic rock sound for the third. The B-side Ride apprears in a short film called Headlong by Simon Raby.
