S.H.I.T.
S.H.I.T. started in 2011 as a full-on attack that blended the more bizarre elements of punk/hardcore with the likes of Motorhead and Iron Maiden. Singer Ryan Tong's gobbledygook approach to vocals makes 1st LP-era Meat Puppets sound like Sinatra at times. If that wasn't enough, Tong's antics were legendary: clad in berets he was famed for throwing rocks, attacking fans while footage of Vietnam rolled behind the band, chasing them around venues with flamethrowers. He was also the main brain behind the band's visual presentation, being a master of collage, t-shirt designing etc. (no wonder he got so upset at the bootlegger.) Antics like these should even encourage some Norwegian Black Metalheads to hang it up and play in Tropicana resort poolside bands in Waikiki.
Not much can be found about them online. While their first two records Generation SHIT and Collective Unconsciousness were nuts in their own right, it was What do YOU stand for? (which didn't happen until 2018) that was their most insane; it's a study in all of the most violent aspects of every aggro band across the map from the Germs to Venom to Void and a concise capsule of how it all relates to SHIT's fucked world. SHIT poked its head up last year with a quick 7" commenting on the Pandemic. The single was called, appropriately enough, "Hidden In Eternity".
