Fistfull started in 1997 out of Ottawa, Ontario and have just finished recording their first album "A Penny For Your Thought".
Shon and Dan have been
playing together since the age of twelve. In early 1995, they met
Lee and asked him if he could play drums, and he responded "uh....kinda"
so they now had a drummer. Sometime later their friend J. joined the band
as a second guitarist., Shon (guitar), Dan (bass and vocals) and Lee (drums)
and J. (guitar) recorded a three song demo at Distortion Studios' under
the name "Teenage Rampage", but broke up soon after that. In early
1997 Shon and Mat met in school, Mat said he owned a bass and a bass
amp, but couldn't play. One night they all got together to jam to
see what would come of it. What came of it was fast, aggressive hardcore
led by dan's furious vocals and lyrics. That summer they played their
first show and have played many shows with several bands since then.
After receiving a stolen recording machine from some friends , who took
it from their school (*cough* Loki), they recorded their first full length
album "A Penny For Your Thought". Lee had since then left the band,
which led to fistfull reforming as a three piece, but not for long as they
asked Tim to play drums. Now with everyone back to their original intruments
we re-recorded the "A penny for your thought" album with the addition of
a few new songs,changed the cover,renamed it as a "s/t" and we cut all
the shitty songs.
and now you're all caught
up.
