ACID SHARKS

About Me


Sick Rick et Bradd Radd se rencontrent dans un bar de Havre Saint-Pierre: l'Écoutille et forment le groupe, "PIRAÑA", en 1995, vite complété par Dave Wave et Madd Matt. Leur répertoire se compose principalement de reprises de chansons simples et agressives. La réputation du groupe et le look particulièrement provocateur leur vaut d'être éjectés de leur bar favoris. Ils décident de partir s'installer à Sept-Iles l'année suivante. Le guitariste Fredd Dredd, qui a joué avec le groupe punk THE ATOMICS sous le pseudonyme 'Ace Fury', prend vite la place de Bradd Radd qui est viré ne venant pas pas aux répétition le quatuor devient ACID SHARKS. Malgré le succès de leur seul et unique tube en 1996, ACID SHARKS s'embarquent pour une tournée des bars de Sept-îles qui ne dure que deux semaines. Durant la tournée Sick Rick a commencé à éprouver des difficultés vocales et tente d'éviter l'implosion du groupe mais Madd Matt et Dave Wave se retournent contre lui. Fredd Dredd quitte le groupe en 1997. La séparation est officialisée et, depuis, de rares bootlegs ont été piraté avec des démos en l'honneur de ce groupe mystérieux et mythique de la scène punk de Sept-îles.En 2006, Fredd Dredd réssucite ACID SHARKS pour une courte durée avec des musiciens qui ont déjà acquis une certaine notoriété au coeur de plusieurs autres groupes.
Sick Rick and Bradd Radd meet in a bar of Saint-Peter Harbour: the Hatchway and form the band "PIRAÑA", in 1995, quickly supplemented by Dave Wave and Madd Matt. Their repertory is composed mainly of simple and aggressive cover songs. The band reputation and the particularly provocative look are worth to them to be banned of their favorite bar. They decide to move in Seven-Islands the following year. The guitarist Fredd Dredd, which played with the punk band THE ATOMICS under the pseudonym 'Ace Fury', quickly replaces Bradd Radd which is kicked out for not showing in rehearsals and the quartet becomes ACID SHARKS. In spite of the success of their only and unique single in 1996, ACID SHARKS embark themselves for a bar tour that lasts only two weeks in Seven-islands. During the tour, Sick Rick started to have vocal difficulties and tried to avoid the implosion of the group but Madd Matt and Dave Wave are turned over against him. Fredd Dredd leave the band in 1997. Separation is made official and, since, rare bootlegs were pirated with demos in the honor of this mysterious and mythical group of the Seven-islands punk scene. In 2006, ACID SHARKS was resurrected by Fredd Dredd for a short time with musicians who had already achieved notoriety in other groups.
