Shards

About Me

Shards were born in september 2001, initially the band just played some covers from Oasis, Blur, Travis, Ash, Verve and other british band. From January 2003 the band started playing some songs written by Francesco and Davide. On the summer of 2004 the first work "Laying Above The Rain" was released. The EP has five tracks (Steel, Can't You See, Dreamlike, Where All My Love Will Rest, Laying Above The Rain) and the 300 copies were soon finished. One year later the band's second EP "Walking on the Line" was released. The band encoutered many problems after the EP's release, for one year Davide left the band to play as bass player with The Afterglow. In september 2006 the band got back together with only three members left: Francesco, Davide and Simone. After an insuccesful research of a new bass player the band decided to start reharsing some new songs and in June 2007 the band was back in BOTTLENECK Studio in Turin to record the third EP, NOTHING NEVER LASTS FOREVER. Due to many factors the EP was released only at the end of 2008, although the record was finised in the first months of 2008. In June the Fabio joined the band and Shards were back on stage in August. Just when things seemed set Simone had to leave Shards (we'll never forget you!) because of his job and Shards had to stop again. In January 2009 Fabrizio joined the band as drum player and now Shards are definitely ready to get back on stage... The band is going back in studio in a while, this time to record the first album!
