Don’t Shoot are an exciting 5 piece indie / alternative rock band based between Northern Ireland and Glasgow. Signed to Broken Road Records.

In 2013 Don’t Shoot created quite a stir in the NI local music scene with the release of their 4 track EP “Please”, gaining them regular slots with well known NI bands such as Empty Lungs, Making Monsters, abandcalledboy and Hologram. They were also contenders in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam, the only band in Northern Ireland to go through to the knock out stages of the competition.

In 2014 Don’t Shoot have continued their run of good form landing support slots with big names such as More Than Conquerors and Gascan Ruckus. In July Don't Shoot released 'The Wonderkid EP' which got high praise from such reviewers as BBC Across The Line, Chordblossom and BandsNI. 

Off the back of The Wonderkid EP Don't Shoot entered Glasgow's 'Soundwave Music Competition' and after storming through the heats, they played the final at Glasgow's O2 ABC on the 10th of January 2015 and were announced winners on the night.

"This EP should come with a warning, one listen to this and you'll be hooked" - Michael Chapman - Chordblossom

“For a band who are both relatively new and irritatingly young, it’s impressive this track (Panic) is very much the finished product. Catchy, welcoming and flawlessly presented, they’re ready for a big step forward.”- BBC Across The Line

“They're a young band on an understandable high, and whilst one eye must surely be set on their future, debut Ep 'Wonderkid' cast's another back to simpler times of indie-rock gone by” – Encore NI
