The best kept secret in music

"...3 piece studs, Shotgun Elvis have your number. You want fun, you want punk-pop-rock, you want loose women and booze…Shotgun Elvis is your answer. Take it from me, there's a reason why every fan knows every word of every song, they're fucking good."
June 2005 - Emergenza
Shotgun Elvis has sent us Somewhere in Chicago and the Valpo punk band falls somewhere between Rancid and Social Distortion.
Who knew that Valparaiso could be so dirty?
You've got your typical punk sound: a few chords, choppy vocals and that signature popping rhythm – but one thing is different than the typical "punk" you hear today – there is no presence of that sugary, poppy "Good Charlotte" shit here.
In a nutshell, it's all about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll for these three guys. Their sound gives a real throwback to some of the forefathers of punk – who I can only guess were a strong influence on the band’s musical maturity.
And although it's almost unbelievable that a small town like Valparaiso, Indiana spawned these guys – fans of music can now truly say that there is more than corn in Indiana.
