Shok Paris

Shok Paris is no ordinary metal band. The appeal of this Cleveland-based band reaches well beyond the narrow parameters of a single genre to touch all fans of true rock 'n' roll. There aren't many bands that, in the same week, can bring down the house at a club in Amish country and elicit the same reaction from a horde of hardcore metal fans at an Ohio metal showcase. But Shok Paris has done it. The band is now ready to electrify the rest of the country. Shok Paris's first album for I.R.S. Records, Steel And Starlight, is a skillful blend of melodic hooks and pure, hard-hitting hard rock. The album is filled with the Shok Paris signature, the often overlooked combination of brilliant technical playing and intelligent lyrics. This album will introduce Ohio's best-kept musical secret to metal fans around the world.
