About
Shot Memory is a melodic hardcore indie pop punk band from Minneapolis, MN. We play music we love. Being in a band is hard when you're juggling it between jobs, school, and other challenges in life, all while doing so with empty wallets. Nevertheless, we work our asses off to write songs that are self therapeutic, and we've been lucky enough to pick up a handful of fans that can relate to them as well. We've also been lucky enough to play with/make friends with dudes in A Wilhelm Scream, 88 Fingers Louie, Tigers Jaw, The Sidekicks, and others, which is a huge accomplishment for us. Every show we play is very energetic with a positive vibe and a high encouragement to channel any negative energy into positive energy through circle pits, stage dives, and sing alongs. We just self released our debut EP "Nostalgic" and we're really excited to tour and get our music out there as soon as we can! If you're a fan of bands such as Much The Same, Crime In Stereo, Daggermouth, Title Fight, Transit, A Wilhelm Scream, Living With Lions, No Trigger, Millencolin, Pulley, and Lagwagon, and stuff like caffeine, beer, zombies, and video games, you may enjoy what we play! So hopefully we will see you at a show soon enough. STAY LUCID -Patch

Holy Chunky Butthole It's Been A While!
Hey! We have a lot going on right now. Playing a lot of shows, you know. We just released our sophomore EP "Brave." which can be downloaded on bandcamp for a "name your price" deal, or in other words, for free. We've been getting praise from dudes all around the world, so thank you everyone for all the support! Stay Lucid, -patch

More Info On Our First Show Back! Plus MORE FREE MUSIC!
Yo! So our first show back after a one year hiatus will be on Friday, January 27 at The Beat Coffeehouse in Minneapolis, MN!!! This one's gonna be a rager. Supporting acts include Fight Cunning, who are doing their CD release set the same night, the lovely dudes in Atlas On Strike, and Fixtures. Check out all those bands, they rule! Show starts at 7:00 PM and only takes a measly $5 to get in. Even our buddy Dubbs the Hobo can get in. Dubbs is a winner. Are you a winner, or a WEENER??! I dunno I'd have to meet you when you come to the show. Actually, come to think of it, how many people from the Minneapolis area are even on this site? And what are the chances of them reading this message? I'm thinking I'll stick to show promotion on facebook. In fact, here's the event link: http://www.facebook.com/events/217834784966004/ Anywayz, as a treat to our beloved fans, (or Shotoholics as I questionably like to call them, sometimes, when I'm not trying to look cool,) I released a demo EP that we recorded 4 years ago. It's got old songs on it that we have changed and made much much much better over the years, but people still seem to like them and request them at shows. Weird. But here ya go, old songs just for shits'n'giggles, free as fuck. Be sure to look out for better updated evolved versions of these songs on future releases!!! Until then, Stay Lucid, and hopefully I'll see you on the 27th! -patch http://shotmemory.bandcamp.com/album/the-crappy-old-songs-we-play-completely-differently-now-demo

Question: What has happened to Shot Memory?
Answer: I dunno, who the fuck is Shot Memory????!!! Well boys and girls, I'll tell you who Shot Memory is. Actually, I won't. Go to our page and that will tell you who we are. For those of you who already know us, we've been on hiatus due to member changes and lack of a practice space. Mike Ramirez is on the bass now and Nate Miller is still holding it down on the drums, but it may be a while before you start seeing some real action from us again. Although, I've been playing a lot of solo acoustic shows, and I may even release an all acoustic Shot Memory record to keep all the listeners occupied while you wait for us to get back on track. That shit is def about to be free tho. Just like our EP "Nostalgic", get that shite on our bandcamp fo free! http://shotmemory.bandcamp.com/ So, like always, Stay Lucid, and have happy. Pockets and bags and briefcases full of happy. Word. -patch

Holy Wow, been a long while! We get fans now?? (free music)
Hey everyone! Patch here, it's been a very long time. This is probably due to the fact that we are in a huge hole with member issues and money and all that shit. We're trying to play more shows again, it's weird not being able to play like every week.... but my good friend Mike Ramirez is gonna start playing bass for us and we couldn't be more excited!!! Also, I've been talking to a few people about recording new tracks, and though it's still a bit up in the air, keep your eyes open for SOMETHING new soon!!! We're most likely playing a show in July with touring bands Hold Tight! and This Is Your Life. Check them out if you're into fast, fun, hardcore pop punk for basements, high fives, and Four Loko!!! what else is going on... we ran out of copies of our EP Nostalgic, but never fear!!! I'm giving it FOR FREE ON OUR BANDCAMP!!! Yes, punk rock hasn't been paying the bills, nor will it ever. Enjoy! But please come out to a show, say hi, and get a tshirt or CD or something!!! If you're a fan of No Use For A Name, Crime In Stereo, Title Fight, Lagwagon, Transit, Such Gold, No Trigger, A Wilhelm Scream, Ten Foot Pole, or Much The Same, get ready to party. Oh, also, become a fan of us, because I love you all. Keep it real, and STAY LUCID!!!!!!! oh, happy easter too! im done. -patch Here are the links to Hold Tight! and This Is Your Life's fb pages, and our bandcamp. SUPPORT YOUR SCENE!!!
