About Me

we started of in september 2003 by Matt Myers and Mike Bauer, broke up in april 2004, got back together september 2005. with new members mike moffit(ex fall from apathy) and mike morgan in November (ex templeton). Our EP will come out hopefully in the summer.
UPDATE: MARCH 2ND, 2006: Okay the band is currently going through a line-up change. We now have Jay Mahoney on Drums (ex Gym Class Hero). and Mike Bauer now plays synth/keyboard/vocals.
We have decided to totally rewrite new stuff due to issues the band has been having. So we won't be playing any shows for a while. We are starting from scratch again maybe keeping some old songs.MARCH 22ND, 2006: SHOT BY SURPRISE HAS BROKEN UP FOR GOOD. WE WERE HAVING TOO MANY CREATIVE DIFFERANCES. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS.SBS RIP SEP 2003- APRIL 20004 SEP 2005-MARCH 2006
