Shed.SHRED-WISE, Shed is about as epic as any band out there. All you need to know about Shed is that they don't do anything they don't want to do for anyone--they do it all for themselves. When they were asked to re-record their song for our latest Skate Rock Skate rock is mainly a term used for rock, punk, emo and heavy metal bands, generally from the 1980s and the 1990s, who were involved in the sport of skateboarding. Some prime examples of skate rock bands are McRad, JFA, the Faction, the Big Boys, Agent Orange, Suicidal Tendencies, CD, they responded by saying, "If you don't like the recording, then you don't like Shed." They skate what and where they want and they don't let that get in the way of their music. This isn't one of those bands you read about that stopped skating because they didn't want to hurt their fingers. This is the real deal. Take (Sam) Hitz, (Darren) Navarrette, (Aaron) Scott, and (Chad) Mohler, give 'em a skateboard or an instrument (it doesn't matter which), and shit's going to go through the roof. Some of their song titles include "Blader Hater," "Peter Hewitt Peter Hewitt can refer to:

What is more alive, skate rock or vert? Vertical rock and rolls are very much alive. Do you think skate rock is dead? Fuck no.

And then the Clay Wheels closed it up. An epic can war followed. In the end, who gets more chicks, rockers or skaters? I heard the combo gets you the four-way BJ.
