The Shanks

Pop-punk along the lines of Screeching Weasel and the Queers (Joe said he liked our demo), it's a midwest thing... Mike and Jared met at UPS (hence the hit single UPS Sucks) and started playing and writing music in 2002. Jared and Trey met in school and a three piece was formed. We were number one on LRS's local show for a month straight with Drug Addict Girl, played Twice Told, Tek World, and the Rud with a vengence, but never toured due to schedule conflicts. We did play a few out of town shows (Ohio and Indiana reprazent!). After meeting new bands and people from playing out, we met Sarah and asked her to join in mid 2003. We quit playing after the album fell through (FUCK CAPITALISM RECORDS. Who? Exactly) and the members became disillusioned and moved on with other projects and life in general. Thanks for the years of support.

Members:

• Jared Busch - guitar, vocals
• Mike Wallace - guitar, vocals
• Sarah Osborne - bass
• Trey Deuce - drums

Releases:

• "Songs You Wish You Wrote" ep.

A full length seventeen song lp was recorded but never released because Capitalism Records disappeared quicker than they could alienate themselves from EVERYTHING and EVERYONE and it never got mixed. Fuck you. We still have copies. 

Compilations:

• Better Day's Cheap Thrills Vol. 3

Shirts/Merch:

• Unmixed copies of the lp are available, email treyhatesyou@earthlink.net for one. "Songs You Wish You Wrote" is long gone as far as I know.
