  • Bio

    Shock Induction was formed in 2008 after K brought back a Martin guitar from the States. J wanted to see it, so after several months, K duly took it round to J's gaff, where there happened to be a full drum kit set up. Meanwhile, P wanted a gander too, and just happened to stroll in from a drum lesson. J invited K to pick up a bass, whilst P wandered over to the drums, and J did what comes naturally, picking up his lead guitar. The wheels were now set in motion for the greatest phenomenon in the North since the invention of the small child's fishing net. K had some songs he had written over the last few years so the three fellow Pisceans set about bringing these to life. After a while they decided to expand the line up. K dragged C out of retirement, who he knew through an old band they used to be in together in the early 90's. They have now recruited a keyboard player, S, and had their first rehearsal as a five piece on the 8th January... BITS 'N BOBS ABOUT THE BOYS: .. K: a self-confessed film-a-holic. Who else do you know who could name the location manager for 'Godzilla'?!!! Also somewhat of a prankster, he has been known to confuse his friends by calling them up and imporsonating representatives from BT Most likely to say - I am a mole and I live in a hole; Least likely to say - Jolly hockey sticks .. J: if he can't fix it, it probably can't be fixed. Always shows up to band practice with his toolkit (as well as his collection of gadgets). As if being a member of 'Shock Induction' wasn't enough, J also devotes his spare energies to his other band - 'Rough Touch' Most likely to say - Football doesn't do it for me; Least likely to say - Scumdiddlyumptious .. P: often seen around town sporting a cappucino eyebrow, he is possibly Costa Coffee's star customer of the noughties (so far)... P also has an affinity with rodents and dreams of badgers Most likely to say - My farts are completely odourless; Least likely to say - Let's leave our cookie break 'til the end .. C: Regularly spotted rescuing cats from trees, C's height should have guaranteed him a star career as a basket ball player. Sadly that was all nipped in the bud when a jealous dwarf stole his hamstrings, leaving C to dwell on what could have been Most likely to say - It's the cookie's fault; Least likely to say - Can someone pass me the ladders? .. S: Likes nothing better than twirling round the dance floor with his keyboard in his back pocket and a gleam in his eye Most likely to say - That sounded pretty good!; Least likely to say - Fog on the Tyne is all mine!
