Shark Soup

A raucous cross between your Clash and Stray Felines (sounding pretty near to the Living End), Shark Soup quickly surely got to discharging a punked-up edition of rockabilly in crowded cellar displays upon their formation in 2003. Located in Erlangen, Germany, the trio documented its initial EP, a seven-song self-titled one, that fall. The demonstration premiered to reviews that are positive around Europe, so when Shark Soup continuing getting the party wherever they can, a word-of-mouth hype began pursuing them around. They strike up local celebrations and jumped on support slot machine games for serves like One Guy Military and Mad Sin, which in turn led to the people landing an area on a summer season 2004 tour of European countries alongside UNITED STATES works the Briefs, the Turbo A.C.’s, and the true McKenzies. Carrying out a string of 20 displays starting for Nekromantix, Shark Soup — vocalist/guitarist Chrissi Jany, drummer Stephan Wettig, and bassist Tim Heerwagen — strike the studio room to record their debut full-length, Fatlip Showbox. Demos delivered to California’s BYO Information piqued the label’s curiosity; they subsequently provided a offer and released the recording in August 2005.
