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.

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.

"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!!..

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

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

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?
HEADLINES, WOE
THEY CALL IT HIT AND RUN
A TWISTED CASE OF BAD HYPOCRISY

AND I WONDER, AND I PONDER WHOSE TO BLAME
AND I WONDER, STILL I WANDER FAR AWAY
I'M GONNA FALL AWAY
I'LL TAKE IT ALL AND FALL AWAY
I'VE GOT TO FIND AWAY
I'M NOT AFRAID TO FALL AWAY
