Long Shot (on hiatus)

NEW ALBUM OUT SOON!!!

About Me

Long Shot is a 4 piece punk rock n roll band hailing from the north side streets of Chicago. They have been playing together now for 3 years at venues all around the city and suburbs with local and national acts. Long Shot prides themselves in writing about brotherhood, loyalty, and love for their city and country with lyrics that anyone can take to heart. Their high energy stage show will leave everyone in the crowd remembering what they witnessed and wanting more. They have been featured on Face First Records compilation Break Your Face which has sold well over 5,000 copies, and are featured on Earwax Factory compilation Hard Music for Hard Times set to release soon. They also plan on releasing a full length this summer with 12 new songs that will get the audience pumping their fists in pride and anger while singing along to the catchy, high energy melodies. Long Shot is still a new comer and although their name has been spreading, if they keep it up they will soon be a common name in the punk scene.
Buy this compilation by Earwax Factory! "Hard Music 4 Hard Time" features 17 amazing songs by some of the best punk rock/oi! bands around the country! ..

Long Shot kicks balls-literally. As an Oi/street punk band they have to; were they less brutal or more relenting their music would lack the grit and pugnacious furor necessary to find a niche in Chica...
