Mr Shiraz Bio "FUN LOVING, BOOZE GUZZLING, HOTEL TRASHING......THE MR SHIRAZ JUGGERNAUT BRINGS THE FINEST IN ROCK, FUNK, METAL AND PUNK!" - METAL HAMMER MR SHIRAZ have come to change the face of music. This newly revamped 5 piece have been trekking across the globe sharing their unique blend of influences and styles to the eagerly awaiting masses. Hailing from Huddersfield, UK, MR SHIRAZ formed in 2000 and have been playing relentlessly to a wide variety of audiences ever since. In 2001 MR SHIRAZ were heralded the the MEAN FIDDLER/FUTURESOUND champions securing a slot on the illustrious Carling weekend festival. In 2005 the band were invited back once again to play to a packed, enthusiastic crowd. The snowballing effect allowed the band to sign a contract with 'Triumphant Sound' (formerly 10past12 Records) and in 2008, Firestorm Records in the USA, which allowed their debut album "I'm Invincible, I'm Built Like a Sherman tank, Somebody Try and STOP ME!" to be sold in stores and on-line world-wide. Whilst creating a massively devoted fan base, major UK (and world wide) magazines 'Metal Hammer' and 'Big Cheese' took notice of their impressive live show and both featured articles on the band, who at the same time began receiving airplay on radio stations including Radio 1. Shortly after these articles hit, MR SHIRAZ were back on the road with their seemingly never-ending tour schedule. Their ever growing following led them in march 2007 signing on as the premier client of M.I.A Management based in the US, in California, this opportunity allowed for MR SHIRAZ to trek over the Atlantic and head out on a 4 week south and west coast tour (ranging from Louisiana to Washington). along the way on the road increasing their faithful, Shiraz were offered a spot on the 2008 SXSW festival held annually in Austin, Texas. With the rest of the year filling up and spilling over into 2009, including the release of their second album, MR SHIRAZ have much to look forward to. MR SHIRAZ have played the UK, Europe and the USA as both headliner and support to such acts as - Kaiser Chiefs, Bouncing Souls, Alkaline Trio, Zebrahead Reel Big Fish, skindred, flogging Molly, Therapy?, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Starpool and many more.
