About Shock and Awe
There are 2 artists: 1) Shock and Awe are a rock band from Edinburgh, Scotland. 2) Shock and Awe is Electro music from Utrecht, Netherlands. 1) Shock and Awe are an Edinburgh based guitar band with a lineup of Bobby Awe (Vocals/Guitar), Tommy Shock (Bass/Vocals), Pedro And (Drums). They've been continually gigging on a regular basis since their first gig in January 2005 not only in their native Edinburgh but also all over Scotland - Aberdeen, Dundee, Falkirk and of course several times in Glasgow where they co-headlined the recent NoT in the Park festival at Firewater They released their debut Album "School For Scoundrels" in October 2005 and their second album, "Shock and Awe Go Home" in April 2006 at jam packed partys in the Subway Cowgate, with a very special guest appearance from Scars guitarist the legendary Paul Research. Both albums can be downloaded for free here - www.myspace.com/shockandawemusic - along with the early single "Kiss Me, Deadly" In 2007 and 2008 they've been gigging constantly with the likes of Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby (an acoustic set), Richard Bacchus (ex D-Generation), The Dangerfields, Hyperbubble (an electro set) and the Lurkers. Having written their 3rd album they are currently recording it with guest musicians from around the world adding something to every track - because of the nature of international collaborations this is taking a lot longer than the band are used to so in the interim they've brought out an acoustic album featuring a few previously released songs and a whole lot more that may or may not be recorded for the next 'proper' album which will be out in early 2010 - the acoustic album is available to download for free at www.myspace.com/shockandaweaccoustic They've been played on the radio worldwide from San Pedro California (several times courtesy of fan and friend Mike Watt from the Stooges/fIREHOSE/minutemen) to Japan Podcasters can also get songs from music.podshow.com which has also generated a lot of global interest They have a reputation for consistently stunning live shows and their recent appearance with those veterans of the 1976 100 club Punk festival the Vibrators, was quite apt for a band whose slogans include "Punk Rock like 1977 never happened" - theres no mohawks or dogs on a string here, just fast, passionate, guitar driven FUN songs written about the real world. 2) Utrecht's Shock And Awe brought out their first digital album, Bass Rage, on Amsterdam based label Basserk in October of 2009.
