   About SHIELDS UP - album OUT NOW!
Started in Edinburgh in January of 2009, Shields Up are a five piece hardcore band. Jak (ex-Ben Cozine), James (ex-Today We Fight!), Jhed (ex-Ben Cozine), Kev (Taking Chase) and Linz (Secta Rouge) set out to play no nonsense hardcore inspired by the old school as much as the new.

A passion for and a desire to play hardcore combined with a relentless work ethic has resulted in Shields Up's debut, self titled album being written and recorded just weeks after the band's inception. The 13 track album is due for release through Wasted State Records in August October of 2009, with another UK tour to take place coinciding with the album's release.

that's the first time we've be compared to them. Really like their first album "Quiet...". Ain't got anything since, but my friends tell me I should.

I'm digging your tunes too! The amount you's have done since inception is ridiculous! So much get up and go, puts everyone else to shame. I'll hopefully have some cash waiting to get my hands on one of them albums.

s.m.a.r.t

p.s. whenever you get a minute, would be great if you could message us your backline you're willing to share/otherwise . Save a last minute rush y'know! Thanks!
