Matt, Tim and Nick from Belleville and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada formed Shotmaker in 1993, a post-hardcore/emo/screamo outfit who played aggressive yet melodic hardcore music. == Biography == Shotmaker’s catalogue comprises three 7”s, two full length LP’s and a 12” split EP. There is also a Shotmaker Demo Tape which is not included in the Complete Discography Double CD. The group parted ways in 1996, but released their double CD retrospective ''The Complete Discography: 1993-1996'' in 2000, comprising almost the entirety of their recorded material (not including a Demo Tape), including several tracks exclusive to compilations and three unreleased songs. 33 of the 43 tracks were lifted straight from vinyl due to DAT tapes being lost.〔(All Inclusive Review ). ''Exclaim!'', December 2000.〕 From their first 7” (pulled due to its controversial cover illustrating a child holding a pistol) to their final LP, Shotmaker’s success lies in the intermingling of explosive riffs and complex, flowing rhythms, creating tensions best exhibited in ''Table'', where tempos and time signatures shuffle in and out at break-neck speed. However, a number of disparate moods are explored, such as the abrasive ''curve'' or the restrained ''controller.controller''. The trio approach catchy on ''10/22/94'', and an untitled instrumental track on their final album includes nothing but acoustic guitar played over radio frequency white noise. The lyrics are rather ambiguous, sung and screamed with an urgency that complements the unyielding compositions. There is a sincerity about something, but just exactly what is open for interpretation. Shotmaker’s members went on to play in such bands as the short lived 30 Second Motion Picture, Three Penny Opera, and The Grey. 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「Shotmaker (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
