WORD OF MOUTH
"Shock and Awe are all about the right here and the right now with their outlook on the daily dilemmas of 21st century life, but they also remind me of a good night out at CBGB's in the mid 70's - short and fast songs like the the Ramones, sick and twisted lyrics in the vein of the Dead Boys and the drummer from Suicide" Deborah "Debbie CBGB's" Olin - Photographer - N.Y.C. "Good dirty punky rock n roll songs" Arturo Bassick - Bass, Vocals - The Lurkers/999 "I will play you on my radio show" The man in the van with the bass in his hands Mike Watt - Bass, Vocals - The minutemen/fIREHOSE/The Stooges AND HE DID PLAY US - CHECK IT OUT HERE twfps.com "shock and awe machen es kurz. -Im wahrsten sinne des wortes. Wer gemütlich schunkeln und sich hinterher ein bischen über die texte unterhalten will liegt hier falsch. Die jungs von shock and awe halten sich lieber an das alte motto : schnell, laut und darüber singen was dich gerade beschäftigt. Politisch korrekt ist dabei natürlich nichts. Richtig so. Ab dafür..." Internationally acclaimed photojournalist Achim Multhaupt - Rock'n'Roll Photographer "Shock And Awe soittaa tarttuvaa, coolia ja sopivan omaperäistä punkkia, kuten esimerkiksi Shes A Girl osoittaa." "Feel Like Dying on yksiniistä kappaleista, jota kuunnellessa voit jättää aivot narikkaan japitää hauskaa musiikin tahdissa." The one and only Jari-Pekka Laitio-Ramone - Journalist/Author/Ramoniac
All the way from Osaka - My-T-Hi - legendary Japanese stars
"WOW"
The Legendary Tommy Stinson - Bass, Vocals - The Replacements/Bash&Pop/Perfect/Guns'N'Roses
"Excellent"
Tony James - Bass, Guitar - Generation X/Sigue Sigue Sputnik/Carbon Silicon
"Rock and roll or what ?"
Fritz Van Helsing - Promoter - Full Moon Club
"YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!!"
Cloey Ramona - Vocals - The Ramonas
"what The Banana Peel Sessions lack in fidelity is more than made up for in spirit. "Come and see the Kentucky Fried Children indeed"... anything that cajoles me into digging out my Angry Samoans records can be no bad thing. This guy should be writing songs for McFly. "
Lindsay Hutton - The Next Big Thing
"what's wrong with that guy from Shock 'N Awe... I guess, as my boyfriend suggested, 'he must never get laid'. But I liked the balaclavas and the new drummer from Liverpool was tight and hot. The lead singer did say "We're feminists.. We've sucked cock!" Equal opportunity punks. I wonder if he gets 'the-dick-sucking-makes-my-jaw-ache blues' too."

Alone - Live at the Full Moon Club 7th April 2005
We're pleased and proud to be presenting Shock & Awe, who stunned the whole club with their furious but melodic early-Ramones style of punkish rock last time they played. I saw them perform to a packed Canons Gait recently, and they are on fire right now.
