ALBUM iNFORMATION

SHRUM was created by Audie T. Pitre in 1995 when he got
the idea of putting two bass players together, in order
to create a brutal sound.  He shared this idea with
Tommy Viator and they began creating what was the
beginning of SHRUM.  They were undecided as to whom they
would get to play the second bass position.  They asked
Joseph J. Fontenot (they knew from a band called
Shredding Lettuce) if he would be interested in the
concept of a forming a band together with two bassists,
drums and vocals.  Enter second bassists, Joe.  The only
question now was, who could they possibly get to become
the vocalist, this would complete the "total package".
Audie was a member of Louisiana's most notorious metal
band Acid Bath, their singer Dax Riggs was the first one
considered for the vocalist position of SHRUM.  Dax went
to one of the band's jam sessions and worked on a song.
A song that would eventually become "Tears Of A
Marionette".  Dax's melody was perfect for the song but
his lyrics just didn't work.  Dax lived very far away,
from everyone else in the band so it just didn't work
out, unfortunately.  Scott Leger would listen in on
SHRUM's jam sessions.  He said that he was a vocalist,
but none of the band members had ever heard him.  He was
asked to try out for the vocalist position in SHRUM.
The first practice he came to was very rough, he was
trying to mimic Dax and that was definitely not what
SHRUM was looking for. "We wanted something original"
says Joe.  Audie then told Scott that he should be
himself and sing with emotion.  With that said, entered
the brutal vocal style of Scott Leger Jr.  SHRUM was on
the verge of playing live shows, when abruptly Audie
Pitre's life was taken in an automobile accident, along
with his parent's lives.  Red Devils and Purple Ringers
were released to raise money for Audie Layne (Audie's
son).  The tape sold extremely well, eventually selling
out completely.  SHRUM completed it's first show with
Kelly Pitre (Audie's little brother) filling in on bass.
It was an outdoor block party.  The response, and
turnout for the event was absolutely unbelievable.
After all this time had passed, people were still
itching to here SHRUM play live.  Since that time SHRUM
has played a show at Zeppelins in New Orleans La. with
Goatwhore.

GROUP iNFORMATION AND NEWS

aAF was created in Jan 2001 to fill a void left in the scene
by groups who would refuse to release anything but current
year music.Well since that time we have been rocking the
scene with classic rock rips.We have made classic music
mainstream in the scene and have been on top in that area as
the number one group in classic rips. We finished 2001 with
3800 rips.As we moved forward in 2002 we found we were also
releasing alot of quality 2k2 rips and saw that we were competing
in that area.In 2002 we finished with over 5000 rips.In 2003 we
plan to move forward and continue to release "THE NEW STUFF" and
strive to be on top in 2k3 rips.We will also continue to remain
on top like we have for 2 years in the classic rock scene.
