Long Island can seem like its own world sometimes. There are a lot of undiscovered bands trapped behind that barrier and it seems pretty hard to escape it. Hopefully, the awesome Long Island Shot Not can make it through the barrier and spread their music wide.
The band got their name from the term "shot not," which is used to get out of doing mundane chores by saying the word before everybody else in the group. It is comprised of three friends, Alec, Tom, and Neil, who were looking for a steady band to play in after after previous band enterprises failed. They have been spreading their unique brand of punk with a little pop mixed in throughout the Long Island and New York area along with some awesome friends like Tomahawk Chop and Fumblerooski.
Their sound is heavenly influenced by bands such as Blink 182, Green Day, Cursive, Latterman, Alkaline Trio. Their music making process is slow but it is totally worth it in the end when you hear their stuff. Songs such as "Wrong Side of the Bed" can always get the crowd excited.
Check out their Facebook and Myspace. Also you can download their EPs The Life on their BandCamp and There's Still Time! Check out these guys so you can be the first to know them before they break through the Long Island barrier.
