Enjoy.
SHIROCK is based out of Nashville, TN. Founding member Chuck Shirock (vocals, guitar, piano) "grew up in the Philippines & Scotland before his family returned to the States". He got his first electric guitar at age 14, & by the end of high school, he met his to-be wife, Pap (vocals, keys), who had started classical piano at age 5. They began recording demos while in college, and by the end of college, they began touring & recording. They released "Believe" in 2004, & followed that with their 5-song EP [appropriately titled] "5" on Mar. 18th, 2008. A line-up change-up happened in 2009; but, "following consistent placements on MTV, ABC, and NBC television networks, SHIROCK became the first independent band to release a CD in Hollister Co. stores worldwide". "Everything Burns" was released on Feb. 3rd, 2009; & "after playing concerts at several high schools & talking with students about social issues", they started the non-profit organization Everything Burns that brings awareness to such social issues. On Feb. 22nd, 2011, they released "Everything Burns (Deluxe)", which [of course] features more content than the former release. This song is from "5".
