Under the Gun was Fighting Instinct's second and final work, released on October 28, 2008.
During 2007-2008 period, the band's Lead Vocalist, TJ Harris had filled in four to five times in live shows for the band Decyfer Down due to reasons which caused their Lead Vocalist, Caleb Oliver, from performing.
[2] In October 2008, the band announced on their MySpace page that they will be releasing an EP named Under the Gun, consisting of five songs.
Although it was never announced, the band added four bonus tracks to the EP and turned it into a special edition 9-track album.
According to Kevin Hoskins of Jesus Freak Hideout, "Their sound can be best described as a southern rock style mix reminiscent of secular bands".
