   About Shooting Blanks!
www.ShootingBlanks.net
What happened to rock'n'roll? Bands have stopped caring about their audience. Professionalism and "business" have overshadowed entertainment. The days of the "rock star" have come and gone, and we have been left with the tattered remains of mascara-wearing, Hot-Topic-clad image-whores...

...enter SHOOTING BLANKS.

Formed in 2001, SHOOTING BLANKS set out to prove that professionalism and insanity can truly coexist in the rock'n'roll community. The paying audience deserves more when they come to see a show, and SHOOTING BLANKS gives them what they deserve.

After a handful of line changes and gallons of alcohol, SHOOTING BLANKS remains one of the hardest working, highest-energy bands in the local scene. Their catchy stuck-in-your-head anthems are infectious, and their live performances are unparalleled.

With no outside help, SHOOTING BLANKS has accomplished more than many bands with label support have, such as:

  • Releasing four studio recorded albums, and one fully enhanced DVD
  • Numerous cross-country tours
  • Opening for national acts, such as Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, Local H, The Lawrence Arms, Vanilla Ice, and Less Than Jake, to name a few
  • Gaining regular airplay on (and being featured guests on) the legendary Chicago rock television show "JBTV" with their seven high-quality music videos
  • Having five SHOOTING BLANKS online video games
  • Being featured on Chicago's major radio outlets, as well as college radio stations nationwide
  • Playing over 200 shows nationally

Look for SHOOTING BLANKS to be taking over a world near you.
