Formed six years ago, in the tough Brooklyn suburb of New York, Shutdown are firmly back on the hardcore map with a vengeance. Having matured, since forming in their mid-teens, the band who are still in their early twenties, have just released their excellent new record Few and Far Between. It’s one in the eye for the critics and doubters who casually labeled Shutdown as just another old school band.
