Информация об исполнителе
1) Born in 79 on Chicagos south side and inspired by artists like Tupac, Al Green, Redman, and Jim Morrison, Chad Heslup, a.k.a. LongShot, first published Scream of the Butterfly, a book of poetry, in 99 followed by a 12" with DJ Anomaly entitled Happiness is Hard to Find in 02. These releases paved the way for his debut album Open Mouths Fed and vinyl 12" single "Pretty Brown Skin" in '03. His sophmore album "Sacrifice" came out on Molemen Records in '04, along with his third single "Never Go Slow." His motivation and drive to succeed as an artist defy the name "LongShot."
The oldest of six siblings, LongShot and his family moved throughout his childhood from Oakland, California to Fort Worth, TX, and back to Chicago. Eventually, the family was split up by DCFS and LongShot moved to a group home. His life experiences in the streets of America struggling to be a role model for his brothers and sisters are the main themes and inspirations for his lyrics; his honest and potent delivery is accessible to listeners of any musical genre.
2) Based out of Southeastern Massachusetts, LONGSHOT is exploding onto the scene with the release of the Realignment EP. The band is touring hard all over New England in support of it- garnering an incredible reaction at every show and developing a reputation for an intense and energetic live performance. Intelligent lyrics and a positive outlook set LONGSHOT apart from many tough guy hardcore acts, following in the footsteps of bands like Bane and Have Heart. Passionately delivering their positive message, LONGSHOT has hit hard and shows no signs of stopping.
3) Hardcore punk from Ajax, Ontario, CAN.
Passion, heart and energy. Thats what Longshot strives for in their music. The band started in May 2010 after a couple of established local bands merged to create something different from the immense amount of Hardcore and Metal bands that seemed to be flooding the music scene. They quickly grew to become a well respected band in the Ontario hardcore scene and spent their first summer as a band playing shows all over Ontario. Longshot have been praised for reviving the hardcore scene and seemed to have inspired a new age of hardcore music within their local scene. Energy; this word can be used to explain what the band strives for, putting on a very energetic and memorable live performance. Longshot's live sets can be explained as dangerous yet one of the most positive places to be. They're first show as a band was with a member of the Sumerian Records roster, Stray From The Path. This really helped shaped the bands career as they went on to play with many notable bands including Shai Hulud, Lionheart, My Children My Bride, It Prevails, Counterparts and Betrayal to name a few. The band continues to work very hard and impress people in every town they visit. Freshly returning from an Ontario tour with Uplift, Longshot has now had a taste of touring and does not plan to stop there with a Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan tour coming up and plans to go to the United States in the summer. Longshot intends to remain a force to be reckoned within the underground hardcore scene.
