The Shan are 3 – piece garage punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland. This is their brand new e.p. What can we find here? There are three songs on this wicked little record. The music of this band can be described as dirty and raw version of garage punk, but at the same time they retain wicked melodies and guitar hooks like that evil menacing melody that I love in Grave Love or majestic melody of Bits of Shit. The vocals are harsh, sometimes shouting, sometimes screaming yet fit perfectly to the song structures of The Shan. I would love to hear how this songs sound live, I am sure this band can provide a wicked live show with blitzes from guitars shooting all around. Bullets is about war if I am not mistaken and futility of it all. This is a wicked record, can´t wait for the full length.
