Sounds LikeWhilst indebted to legends in the field – such as Mogwai and Slint – Shutter have a clear metal edge, a sign that some Highlanders like their Sabbath to be Black. Their set in The Doghouse was well received by an audience more used to the latest skinny jean clad sensation. With orchestral guitars plunging into one another, Shutter begin to resemble Wagner with a touch of feedback.
Gonorth review - This Is Music

Though their presence is understated and they barely look up throughout their set, they regularly set the stage alight throughout their all-too-brief half hour of Pelican-flavoured post-rock. This high standard, by which many of tonight’s other performers will inevitably be measured against, leaves little wonder as to why Deftones snared them for a support slot in recent times. The drums arrive fierce and accurate, adeptly penetrating the clear, layered, dual guitar assault as and when the crescendos rise and warble out. There’s effortless synchronicity at play here, and the tools to beat away the boredom that too often dogs the genre are firmly in Shutter’s possession. Gonorth review - The Skinny

   About Shutter

"Watching Shutter live can only be described as a unique experience. Guitarists Matt Campbell & Pete Macdonald fluidly work together (a sign of years of playing together) playing riffs that jump between the most melodic and heavy music you will ever hear.
Backed by the solid bass and the innovative drumming of brothers James and Will Roberts gives Shutter an almost dance music like groove which has made them accessible to the many people in the Scotland looking for something different."

Shutter have been lucky enough to have shared stages with some amazing bands including Deftones, Gallows, Pelican, Red Sparowes & Aereogramme along with Festival appearances that have had the likes of Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, Kasabian, Primal Scream, Magic Numbers and The Undertones as headliners.

I was playing at the gig in Leslie last night, in the duo before you boys. I was well into your tunes and was really dissapointed when my lift had to leave before the end. All the best and I hope to see you again in the future.

Do you find yourself absolutely sick to death of seagulls targeting you from above as you go about your business in Church Street? Have you ran the gauntlet of clipboard holding Charity Workers in High Street whilst trying to get home after a dire day at work? Should there be a cap on the amount of young dudes assembling in Falcon Square at any one time?

Inverness…Discuss is your chance to moan, groan, laugh, joke, cry, and lie about all things Inverness. This blog will have stories to tell and through these you can debate and discuss by leaving comments on various topics as they develop.

But here, eh, don’t worry if you’ve na’heen to moan about - happy thoughts and praise for people and objects of Inverness will be equally welcomed with outstretched open arms.

So, go on, fill your boots, let’s see what you have to say about our beautiful, ahem, city.

Slainte.
