•	Ed Robinson– Guitar, Vocals
•	Will Asson - Drums
•	Marek Fengler - Bass

All hailing from the home-counties, previously home to influences including Reuben and YouMeAtSix, Hanshotfirst have evolved into the area’s most promising new band, armed with a stock of sweaty anthems and a growing reputation for intense live shows.

Zander Dale, Mike Thomas and Ed Robinson have played together for several years, originally bonding over a mutual love for Finch’s What It Is To Burn. The band has since grown and grown, adding drummer Will Asson and bassist Marek Fengler to their ranks.

Described as "really special" by Alex Baker (Kerrang! Fresh Blood) Hanshotfirst have already become one of Surreys most explosive and entertaining bands, armed with an array of sweaty anthems and a growing reputation for intense live shows. To Those We Have Loved And Lost showcases another step forward for Hanshotfirst. Ranging from the melancholic singalong pop punk of ‘Vagabonds’, to the scream your head off riffage of ‘Jessica’ via the haunting, grand piano led, single ‘We Fall Down’, Hanshotfirst’s debut album takes the listener on a journey evoking a multitude of emotions. The lyrical themes of the album follow closely the trials and tribulations that the band has encountered over the past year. These include brutally honest confessions about the breakdown of a long term relationship, friends moving away to the big city, being alone and the frustrations of trying to achieve your dreams but being held back at every opportunity. 

With an album launch show at The Boileroom, Guildford on August 22nd and a tour in September (details below), Hanshotfirst are gearing up for an all-out assault on the latter half of 2015. 

TOUR: 23/09/2015	Wednesday	GUILDFORD //THE STAR INN
24/09/2015	Thursday	BIRMINGHAM// THE FLAPPER
25/09/2015	Friday	CARDIFF//MOON CLUB
26/09/2015	Saturday	BRISTOL//CROFTERS RIGHTS
27/09/2015	Sunday	LONDON//SURYA

Hanshotfirst’s debut EP is a twister of guttural screams, powerful riffs, catchy hooks and standout guitar melodies inspired by everything from Philip K. Dick to vice and love. From the jagged whirlwind We Should Have Killed Quaid On Mars to the pop-punk 2001 which won’t leave your head for days, these five tracks are a statement of intent from this ambitious band. 



“Great vocals and a killer sound, Real edge and energy. 8/10. This is the band you're looking for...” 
Bro-Metal

“Dynamic, A jagged whirlwind, Energetic and memorable sound” Maggie Sapet (VIC) Australian Musician Network Dynamic

“spacious, epic, and intense; brilliant lyricism, and absolutely stunning drum work; stunner of a debut, expect big things from these guys” 
The Musical Melting Pot

Combining the jagged edges of the emotionally charged Sarah, Tone In with the machine gun quick History, Hanshotfirst provide huge choruses and one of their best releases. While the latter has been a part of the band’s arsenal for some time as a fans’ favourite live, the former gives a positive reflection on where this band are headed- making this a mouth-watering release from this up and coming act from Surrey.

Their influences include from Alexisonfire, Finch, Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail and many more!
