BIO

They were created in the northern most section of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, Shaolin Death Squad claims residency
in Denton, Tx. Prior to their official birth in late 2002, the members of SDS have played in various music projects throughout the state. With an interest in theatrical arts, Shaolin Death Squad offers a unique live performance which often leaves their audience intrigued and eager for more. Along with their image, a variety of influences aid in the unique, yet oddly familiar sounds of SDS. The music consistently continues to be distinct and creative as well as commercially appealing, as the band seeks to be profitable in the market place while retaining musical/artistic integrity. Shaolin Death Squad’s unique sound and image has attracted the attention of several labels, including The End, Equilibre (France), and Do For It Records. Having shared the stage with groups such as the Dillinger Escape Plan, Fair to Midland, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Estradasphereand Therion, SDS successfully entertains audiences with a wide variety of musical taste.

Often compared to such artists/projects as Mr. Bungle, Oingo Boingo, System of a Down, Cirque du Soleil, Dimmu Borgir, and ELO, the music of Shaolin Death Squad is both melodically exciting and rhythmically aggressive. Infectious melodies and harmonies are often punctuated with bursts of intense rhythmic furor. Formal musical and technical training has given the members of SDS the ability to play a broad range of challenging musical styles, and it has instilled in them a high level of professionalism in all aspects of music production.
