Shotgun Start

About Me

Shotgun Start -Genre: Rock, Hard rock,Classic Rock, Metal - 5 Piece Band Formed on the 7th of December 2007.
Formed on a golf course,Shotgun Start is a made up of five different creatures we call humans and is currently a virgin to the local music scene. With heavy distortion, killer vocals, mad solos, mashing rhythms, catchy bass lines and a jazzy beat, Shotgun Start comprises of individuals with different musical backgrounds and influences.
The conceptualization came about when Bryan( Lead Guitarist/Backup Vocalist) was training for Golf Nationals . However, no progress was made till after the major examinations. Soon, Shaun( Drummer) was roped in to fill in the beats and Yimin( Bassist) to provide the steady bass chops and Afiq to mash in rhythms. Following the departure of our previous vocalists, Abhi( Vocalist) our foreign talent, was brought in to fill the missing link and provide lung power!
Brought together by an appetite for music, Shotgun Start is cocked, locked and ready to rock.
