BACK TO OUR ROOTS
Shit Happens Inc., History Lesson FOR YOUR ASS!
Enter 2025 we've decided to go back to our roots and resurrect "SHIT HAPPENS INC." After a one album run and four years of "Shistr" Lou Torres came back to the band and it freed up Tim from the guitar so he can romp all over the stage and stomp on everyone's equipment just like old times!
The band has a bigger sound and more energy on stage. We also have plans for a new album. So far we have enough music written we just need to get the bugs out and start recording demos. We all have families and other projects going on but we are determined to get one more effort in.
Shit Happens Inc is:
Tim Mercy - Vocals
James Campbell - Lead Guitar
Louis Torres - Lead Guitar
Fito Garza - Bass Guitar
Rene Ramos - Drums
SHISTR HISTORY 2020-2025
Everyone knows 2020 was rough on us all. What better time to take a break, step back and start a new band. And that's exactly what we did.
"LET THERE BE SHISTR"
August 14, 15 and 16, 2020 we booked Third Eye Studio with Dave McRae and Dana Sampson. We recorded some killer fresh new music with our good friend and new guitarist James Campbell.
Release date: May 2021
CD's and Merch available online and at all shows.

_______________________________________
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!!!
