About the Album

Bullseye is the sound of a band firing out of the gate at full volume. These early recordings capture The Lucky Shots at their rawest and most immediate — fast tempos, bright chord changes, garage-pop grit, and choruses that hit with the enthusiasm of a group finally stepping onto the map.

You can hear the band discovering its identity in real time. The EP mixes melodic instincts with fuzzy garage textures, nodding to everything from 60s beat groups to 90s indie revival acts. It’s rough around the edges in all the right ways: earnest, catchy, and fueled by the unmistakable “first EP adrenaline” that only happens once.

For longtime fans, Bullseye is a time capsule — the moment The Lucky Shots’ signature blend of melody and muscle was born. For new listeners, it’s the perfect place to hear where the Sacramento now-sound began.
