Now And Then 04:12
Size direction His reflection Lies infection Tries repression Colors turning their shades on this fine day Life is crawling away on this great day No thought have ever been tamed In my heart there will be shame Locked away without pain For this I hold the blame I am so alone, alone I am so alone, alone

Failure 06:22
Only one conclusion Only one Only one conclusion This one With my head in fusion This time There is no need worth greeding No more And the sky was grey Was what she said Only one conclusion Only one Only one conclusion This one With my head in fusion This time There is no need worth greeding No more To your left is your plain safe dream And I do hope you like it Please stay a while With your white picket fence And your things to do You built this dream of yours now Now make it come true

about

During their relatively short time together SHOTMAKER harnessed the collective creativity of the Canadian DIY community to make something special happen. The band is widely recognized for influencing the direction of emo and post-hardcore music.

They wrote and recorded two 7”s, two LPs, a split LP (with Washington, D.C., based Maximillian Colby) and numerous songs for compilations and other split records. The band thrived on playing live shows and completed three coast-to-coast North American tours in addition to many smaller tours. They regularly shared the stage with bands like Policy of 3, Los Crudos, Unwound, Rorschach, Cap’n Jazz, Indian Summer, Rye Coalition, Modest Mouse, Propagandhi, Hoover, Clikatat Ikatowi, Blonde Redhead, and Fugazi.

"a moment in time: 1993-1996" is a band-curated, 33 track, 3xLP box set on transparent blue, green, and purple vinyl in a black, debossed, anti-scratch slipcase. It includes a 12 page booklet with never before seen images from Canadian photographer Shawn Scallen who chronicled much of the band's history. All material mastered for vinyl by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, OR.
