About Chrystyna Marie Genre: Blues/Pop/Rock Band Location: Pittsburgh, PA Where to find them: Originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, Chrystyna Marie spills her soul, with a mix of grungy blues and a hint of pop. About the Song, Loaded Gun Basically the song is about an ex “fiance” who was a drummer…he lied to me about having kicked his Coke habit cause I’m not about that life. I found he was hiding it and a functioning addict like he couldn’t live a good day without bumps in the bathroom every now and then. He got “depressed” and lost after being on tour all summer. We moved to the woods in a house we fixed up between tour dates. He threatened to use his gun one day. And i was like oh hell nah. One day he went to the store which was 40min away from the house and asked me to come I said I’ll stay behind and clean the house. I pretty much have myself 30-40min to pack whatever i could into my car and peace the F out without a word. Ninja bounced. I had to be strategic on not being seen driving through town to get back to los Angeles . We lived in Washington state. I called my bff and said can I come stay and she’s like the doors open.
