Shaun Lopez is an American music producer, composer, and musician. ==Life and career== Shaun was born and raised in a suburb of Sacramento, CA. He is a founding member and guitarist for post-hardcore band Far. After a number of local releases, including their first demo tape, ''Sweat A River, Live No Lies'', and two independent albums ''Listening Game'' and ''Quick'', they signed to Epic/Immortal Records and released their major label debut, ''Tin Cans With Strings To You''. Their second major label LP, ''Water & Solutions'', was released in 1998. Thanks to the single, "Mother Mary", they attracted a large cult following. The more melodic sound showcased on this album is increasingly cited as an influence on present-day "emo rock" bands (i.e. Thursday, Biffy Clyro, Jimmy Eat World) . Certainly, it was a departure from their earlier, much more hardcore sound, though it is still far from the emo-pop that it would quickly come to inspire. After their split in 1999, Lopez briefly played in an early version of Rival Schools, headed by former Quicksand frontman, Walter Schreifels. He also auditioned for a spot in Foo Fighters, a job that was ultimately given to Chris Shiflett of No Use For A Name/Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Shortly thereafter, Shaun picked up the microphone and formed The Revolution Smile, which, after putting out the self produced ''At War with Plastic'' EP, and self-produced full-length, ''We Are In This Alone'', was signed to Geffen Records. In 2003, they released ''Above The Noise'', which was produced by Shaun and Dave Sardy, (producer of Far's ''Water & Solutions''), and mixed by Andy Wallace. They toured across United States and Europe, and were featured on Ozzfest and Van's Warped Tour. A third self-produced album entitled ''Summer Ever'' was released in September 2006. In addition to his production work with The Revolution Smile, he has produced a number of other bands, including Giant Drag, The Black Pacific, and Deftones. In 2009, a Far reunion was announced. Several live shows were played, and an album produced by Lopez was released on May 25, 2010. Their Lopez produced cover of Ginuwine's hit Pony made it to the top 40 in modern rock charts. He has also mixed B-Sides for Deftones forthcoming release, Diamond Eyes. In 2011, Shaun formed ††† (Crosses) with Chuck Doom and Chino Moreno from Deftones. The group played their first shows on a short tour in California, including cities Pomona, San Diego, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Crosses played in the Lollapalooza Chile festival on March 31 - April 1, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lineup.lollapaloozacl.com/ )〕 They also played in the Quilmes Rock festival on April 3, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crossesmusic.com/post/13063881121# )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaun Lopez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
