Shortsleeve

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
This is Shortsleeve. A band composed of four (4) equal parts bass, guitar, drums and vocal chords, each performed with the help of their somewhat partially skilled human counterparts. This is their story.2003 - TodayA merging of members of two bands that broke up led to this. It was nobody’s fault but their own…They barely knew each other at first. Turns out they liked each others previous bands. Also turns out they wanted to keep making music. Hell, they liked a lot of the same bands. They could even tolerate each other. So they found a jam spot.So they get to practicing. They start writing what they think are pretty good songs. They see a lot of bands playing around town. They start playing around town too. Their friends come to their shows. Strangers eventually start showing up too. They get more and more high fives.They record and release a 5 song EP barely anybody gets to hear. They keep playing shows for another year all around Atlantic Canada. They open for punk rock legends like DOA and SNFU. They play shows with a lot of their favorite local bands. They make a lot of friends along the way. They take great pride in their, loud, energetic, engaging and sometimes painful live show.That leads them to here.On September 21st, 2007, “Have You Ever Been Here?”, Shortsleeve’s new full-length record will be released.It contains fast, catchy (often short) punk rock songs. Songs about everyday life having grown up in Atlantic Canada. Songs about what it’s like to screw-up, to be drunk, lazy and broke. Songs about casual to heavy drug use, violence and coarse language. Heartbreakers. Cigarettes. Mental instability. Telephones. Food. Weirdos. Cartoons. Banjos. Prescription drugs. – It’s all in there.Catch them if/when they play your town. Then tell your friends. That is all.
