Shatterhand

About Me

It all started back in 1998 when Dave, Stuart, Brian and Rams met up in a shady rehearsal studio in an effort to get all the surplus energy and anger out of our collective system. After four practices the chance came to play a couple of shows with Vanilla Pod and being the idiots that we are, we drunkenly agreed. I guess that was kinda when we were born for real - More shows followed throughout the UK and Ireland with the like of Diesel Boy, UK Subs, Shelter, Lost Prophets, Real McKenzies, 999, Turtlehead, Fireapple Red, The Dangerfields, No Comply, Even In Blackouts etc. Now, four albums later and on our third bass player (our very own four string god - Mikey!!). After countless tours we have dusted off some cobwebs from a temporary lay off from writing and gigging and we are back enjoying the punk rock mayhem that is Shatterhand, still four good mates ill at ease with the corporate western dream, still DIY, still punk rock and still having a blast. We could be coming to a town near you soon so beware. Look out for the fifth record in 2009 which should hit the stores under the name of “In The Face Of Adversity” it’s shaping up to be the best yet! So, that's it really, not much of a history, but we’re loving every fucking minute of it, and as far as we're concerned that's all that matters. Stay punk, stay drunk and stay free!Cheers and Beers fae Mike, Brian, Dave and Stuart
