SHOCKLORE began as a group of friends playing in bands together during the 1980's Punk, Thrash and Speed Metal scenes in Southern California. When we formed our goal was to put together a compilation of hardcore music encompassing all of our best combined influences from that great era. Both lyrically and musically, SHOCKLORE is a voice that won’t be silenced. Whether humorous, pensive, or just plain blunt, the whirlwind of notes and ideas that is SHOCKLORE will foment, instigate, and stimulate without qualification.
