SHLSHKD ("shellshocked") was a band in NYC 2003-2006. We're re-releasing our album The Reins and a never released EP, on 11/4/2025. If you like dynamic punk (Fugazi), Riot Grrrl (Sleater-Kinney) and indie rock (Pixies, Sonic Youth) you'll love us.

This song spookily foretold Elon's impact...who knew he'd have an "open checkbook" to wreck a sizable portion of our Democracy? I didn't know any of that when I wrote these lyrics 20 years ago. Specifically: "you buy your statements, you’re cool now, it seems" - yup. Let's reclaim our Democracy!

Soft Targets, Bargaining Chips, by SHLSHKD from the album The Reins

20 years ago, the GW Bush administration was waging the beginnings of a forever war. Spokespeople used terms like "carpet bombing", "soft targets" and "collateral damage" - we wrote Soft Targets, Bargaining Chips in response: shlshkd.bandcamp.com/track/soft-t...

Found some old photos (yeah, this was printed via OG film) of the band in our Brooklyn basement practice space, circa Winter 2005. Fun fact: the "toilet" was a drain pipe off to the side. I rode my BMX thru 3' of snow to practice. Good times! (more details and proper photographer credit to follow)

We took this photo on one of our west coast tours, in Seattle, in a strange venue (used to be a house?!) in the Westlake area. Was an awesome show and venue! Also, it no longer exists πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
