'Starting Gun' was recorded at Vigo Studios, near the band's hometown of Cannock. The band chose this studio because they wanted to make a record that sounded like their roots and had the chance to work with long-time friend of the band and producer Adam Beddow, who has recently helped produce Diamond Head's most current work.

Following the September release of their recent single Thunder Child, The Bad Flowers were named as one of Planet Rock Radio's Ones To Watch
