Album and Song Reviews
Raw & Real Reviews from the Masses.
S.H.I - 11 YEAR ITCH
“Good stuff from your band."
Very diverse. Sometimes modern sounding, sometimes old school. Best of luck with it.
------ Don Jamieson - Comedian - That Metal Show
- www.donjamieson.com
------------------------------------------------------------
Just when you think you've seen and heard it all, ... another monster comes into the light ....at night!! Thundering drums, ardent arias, screaming crochets, and a maniacal bass!!..... Yesss!! SHIT really does happen ....over and over again .....
--------------------------------
No Illusions here
A great sounding original band here. They hit all the right notes in all the right places

"Illusion"
-------------------------------------------------------------
No sorrow here
From the opening notes through the verses chorus and solo to the end this song rocks and sounds as good as anything the top record labels and artists are putting out.
----- Rusty clay PRO Today
United States, Illinois, Aurora
"Messiah of Sorrow"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bang!
Shit Happens and now it's written in Inc \,,/ From the open chords you get a sense of what the band is all about. (I need this in my face;) Effects on guitars with nails! Beautiful drum production and the vocalist just 'fits' .. This song is flowy and keeps ya head nodding.. Lets hope it's no 'Illusion' n these rockers pump out some more tunes soon. (VenomRex)

“This reminds me of a song off of a WWE video game like the intro to one of the superstars. I love the energy of the singer! It seems they were really into it while recording. The instruments compliment the vocal quite well. A great song to sing along with.
----- World Cloud Reviews
"THE CALLING"”
--------------------------------------------------------------
"S.H.I - Heavy Rock Intros with some Great Guitars and Thunderous Drum Beats!"
---------- Rock Hero
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Dubbed "the Number One party band in the South West", this title is well deserved because with '11 Year Itch', what the band has done is to produce 42 minutes of serious heavy rock that just doesn't dissapoint in any way, shape or form, the harmony sound from the whole band is just so in tune and professional, you begin to wonder why no record label has picked these guys up yet.”
--------- Johnny Main, www.metaltalk.net
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Make no mistake, this isn't your Dad's Rock Band!”
----------- GoHotShark.com
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Close my eyes n hear Great Times! Sounds Great. Finishes Strong!!..
"MESSIAH OF SORROW"

_______________________________________
After 11 Years of playing a hybrid of covers and originals in countless bars, bike rallies and clubs across the Southwestern United States. S.H.I recorded they're first EP "FIRSTFOUR" released March 17, 2013. Then two months later to the day on May 17, 2013, their full length effort appropriately named "11 YEAR ITCH" was released. Spanning over a decade S.H.I has opened for many touring and national acts including Dokken, L.A. Guns (both with and without Tracii Guns), Los Lonely Boys, Ron Keel, Bullet Boys, The Frank Hannon Band, Geoff Tate, Krash Karma, The Chimpz, and more.
S.H.I has held the spotlight as one of New Mexico's best Rock groups since 2001 and still plays to crowds at Albuquerque's Premiere Rock Clubs as well as several events and venues throughout the great Southwestern United States. Crowned the house band at the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally Ignacio, CO and also co headlined the Fire and Ice Bike Rally for the third time. They are no strangers to the stage and know how to work a crowd.
Nominated in 2014 winning the New Mexico Music Awards Best Metal Song for "BLACK WIDOW". Aug 2017, S.H.I officially released "Fall Away" nominated Best Metal Song new Mexico Music Awards 2018. The boys have finished their second album recorded in Fair Hills, CA in April of 2019. A seven song EP scheduled for release December 26, 2019.
Digital download available now, hardcopies available Feb 2020 at the TBA Cd release party.
If any group deserves the title, "Party Band", it would undoubtedly be "S.H.I" With the energy these 4 souls release in a 45 minute set they could quite possibly supply power to a small city........ Definitely check out these Bad Boys of Burque!
You wont be disappointed!!!

LONGING FOR
I CLOSE MY EYES I THINK OF HOW
I TORN A PART OF MY SOUL
I DON’T KNOW HOW
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING
BUT I KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
AND I’LL KNOW
WHEN I SEE HER FACE
LOATHING FOR
I YEARN ALONE IN WEAKNESS
A CONSTANT HUNGER IN MY SOUL
I KNOW NOW
THIS VOID INSIDE NEEDS HEALING
I'M OUT OF TOUCH
OUT OF CONTROL
STILL I KNOW
WHEN I FIND MY MARIONETTE
I WILL PAINT THAT SILHOUETTE
I HAVEN'T FOUND MY ANGEL YET
IN THE NIGHT SHE COMES TO ME
KILLS THE PAIN THE MISERY
SHE’S MY SANCTUARY
AND I’LL KNOW
YES, I’LL KNOW
WHEN I SEE HER FACE
(SOLO MERCY)
AND I’LL KNOW
YES, I’LL KNOW
2x
WHEN I FIND MY MARIONETTE
I WILL PAINT THAT SILHOUETTE
I HAVEN'T FOUND MY ANGEL YET
IN THE NIGHT SHE COMES TO ME
KILLS THE PAIN THE MISERY
SHE’S MY SANCTUARY
WHEN I SEE HER FACE 11x
AND I’LL KNOW
WHEN I SEE HER FACE
CRUTCH
LYRICS: MERCY
MUSIC: MERCY
I LOVE THE THINGS THAT KILL MY BRAIN
I NEED THAT CRUTCH TO KEEP ME SANE
WHO KNEW THE WORLD WOULD BE THIS WAY
THE THINGS WE NEVER KNOW
I KEEP IT ALL INSIDE MY HEAD
SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND ME ANYWAY
NO MATTER WHAT I SAY
AND WHEN I FALL APART
I NEED THAT SPECIAL TOUCH
I ALWAYS GO FOR THAT CRUTCH
THAT CRUTCH, MY CRUTCH, THAT MAGIC TOUCH
IT'S ALL THAT I NEED, THAT CRUTCH, MY CRUTCH
THIS CRUSHES LIKE A KILLING GAME
I FIND IT HARD TO STAY AWAY
CREEPS IN JUST LIKE A DAISY CHAIN
IT'S RUSSIAN ROULETTE
*I NEED A WAY TO CLEAR MY HEAD
WHEN THINGS ARE BLUE WELL, I SEE RED
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT, ANYWAY
JUST GO ABOUT YOUR DAY

HIDING IN THE DARKNESS

IN FEAR YOU START TO SHIVER
THIS PAIN I SHALL DELIVER
TO HEAR MY NAME WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES
PROWLING AT THE WINDOW
PSYCHOTIC INNUENDO
I’LL FIND A WAY TO GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD
I SNEAK IN THROUGH THE BACK
THIS NIGHT I WILL ATTACK
TIE YOU UP, TONIGHT, I HAVE MY WAY

BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK

TO YOU MY FATHER
WATCHING WHY OUR COUNTRY SLEEPS
WHY DON’T YOU WAKE US?
BEFORE WE GET IN WAY TOO DEEP
THE WALLS OF ANGER
THEY SURROUND US ALL AROUND
BRICK BY BRICK THEY LAY
NEVER LET US TOUCH THE GROUND
WHERE DO WE GO FROM NOW?
WHAT CAN WE DO?
WE’LL FIGURE IT OUT SOMEHOW
HEADLINES, WOE
THEY CALL IT HIT AND RUN
A TWISTED CASE OF BAD HYPOCRISY
HEADLINES, WHOA, WHOA
THE TRIAL HAS BEGUN
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY
THEY TRY TO DIVIDE US
SHOWING VIOLENCE IN THE STREETS
I DON’T SEE ANYTHING
THAT THEY PREACH IN FRONT OF ME
THE HOAX OF AGES
BURNED IN OUR DEMOCRACY
IT’S TIME TO IGNORE THE ONES
WHO THINK THEY KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR ME?
