Bio: SHOCKLORE began as a group of friends playing in various bands both together and seperately during the height of the 1980's Punk Rock, Thrash and Speed Metal scenes in the South Bay, Southern California.
When they formed their goal was to put together a combination of Hardcore music using all of their combined influences. The result was 21 Driving, and Provocative tunes that would stand the test of time and be as relevant today as the day were written. Though SHOCKLORE line ups have morphed and varied over the years, but the concept has not.
“SHOCK”: To provoke a sudden upsetting or surprising event or experience. To invoke a feeling of disturbed surprise.
“LORE”: a body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth
Beginning in 2021 the line up again included Charles Morel (Guitar on Static Audacity - 01/01/21), but has since settled into a more congruent line up:
Jim Fuentes/Strings
Mark Luther/Drums/Vocals
James Harned/Vocals
With the intensity and raw power of their release “Soiled Mask” on 05/05/21, it is clear SHOCKLORE has lost none of their purpose or bite. SHOCKLORE now has another Full Length 12 song LP which again combines their collective and unique influences along with many years of friendship to create VOL 2, recently released 12/18/2021
