6 piece Auckland hardcore punk band Shitripper formed in 2007 and have been playing their brand of fast, angry, straight-to-the-point music ever since.

Led by an intense and layered duel vocal attack their songs are honest and flatout - most clocking in under 2 minutes. They share their sound and energy with bands like D.R.I, Minor Threat, F Minus & Trash Talk.

With 5 self-released Badboy EPs already under their belt. Shitripper have recently recorded their latest batch of aggressive, poignant and brutal truths on their 2013 release - Brain Defect– the band released this late June on CD, 7” and on digital download.

After touring Brain Defect in the North Island and Australia the band are stoked to be heading to the South Island for the first time:

Thursday September 12 @ Dux Live, Christchurch 
with PCP Eagles, Gravemind, Winter & None Left Standing

Friday September 13 @ Musos Club, Dunedin 
with PCP Eagles, Gravemind & guests

Saturday September 14 @ Malbas, Timaru 
with PCP Eagles, Gravemind, Mr Sterile Assembly & Bazooka 

“The Auckland-based punk act only know one way forward – full throttle” – NZ Herald

“Shitripper is thrashy, loud, abrasive loose and rugged – just as it should be” – Rip It Up

“Shitripper are quickly maturing from a fun, trashy act to one of the tightest, most ferocious bands in the country. Brain Defect is the clearest indication yet of that. A bristling, powerful release” – http://www.punkas.com/

“Anti-establishment themes and a blistering pace throughout the thirteen-tracks cover all the thrashcore bases while musical depth and fantastic production will keep you coming back for more. However the music isn’t all you get with this release, it’s accompanied by an awesome twenty-page booklet of lyrics and artwork well worth checking out. If you like your punk music fast and without compromise, Shitripper's latest release Brain Defect is the CD for you.” – http://www.nzmusic.net/
