Number One Gun was a Christian rock ensemble originating from Chico, California, with their latest affiliation being with Tooth & Nail Records. Their initial EP, Forever, was independently released in 2002. This was succeeded by Celebrate Mistakes in 2003 under Floodgate Records, and subsequently Promises for the Imperfect in 2005 through Tooth & Nail Records.
In 2006, the band members embarked on individual ventures: Jeff Schneeweis launched The North Pole Project; Christopher Keene alongside Jordan Mallory formed Surrogate; and Trevor Sellers became part of Armed for Apocalypse.
By early 2007, Schneeweis transformed The North Pole Project into Number One Gun, evolving it into a solo project.
The album The North Pole Project was released on January 15, 2008, via Tooth & Nail Records. Its leading single, "Million", premiered on PureVolume in September 2007. To promote the record, Number One Gun toured in January 2008, featuring Justin Richards (Brighten) on guitar and Jonathan Russo (producer and multi-instrumentalist) on drums.
The subsequent album, To the Secrets and Knowledge, remained a solo effort by Schneeweis.
In June 2012, Schneeweis revealed plans for new material under the Number One Gun name. Later that year, the original members reunited to compose and record a full-length album. A Kickstarter campaign was launched in July 2012 to finance both the album and an accompanying tour. Notably, Stephen Christian, lead vocalist of Anberlin, provided guest vocals on one track. The resulting album, This Is All We Know, was delivered to Kickstarter supporters on November 27, 2013, and officially released on January 14, 2014, through Tooth & Nail Records.
