Shok Paris appreciation thread

I never seem to see this band talked about around here. It's quite a shame, as they are quite good.

Anyone like them?

I love them.

I liked Go For Throat pretty well, but Ive never looked into anything else theyve done.

Remarkably creative 80s band.

I have Steel & Starlight and think it's a phenomenal album. I'd like to see all their albums properly re-released on cd.

Haven't heard this band since the 80's. I just remember them from the cutout bins here in Norway.

I have never heard of them til I saw a magazine article on Metal Edge right before the mag went belly up, listing one of their albums as one of the lost metal albums of the 80's.

Go For The Throat and Steel & Starlight are great albums!!

I have Steel & Starlight.

I wish somebody would remix/remaster that one.

I got into the band from the movie "The Hidden" and a scene where the alien is driving a fancy sports car with the song "On Your Feet" blaring while he runs from police.

One of the best metal bands ever, I like all their 3 albums. RECOMMENDED!!!!

I forgot about that. Pretty cool !

If you like SHOK PARIS you like AFTERSHOK too. Its with the singer of SHOK PARIS. Specialy the first AFTERSHOK album is great.
I like all the 3 albums by SHOK PARIS. Great US METAL for fans of OBSESSION, SAVAGE GRACE or WILD DOGS.

I still kick myself for the time late one night when Steel & Starlight was on ebay and went for under twenty. Fortunately I didn't make the same mistake when I found Concrete Killers in a LA record shop. The clerk was even ticked he hadn't found it first. Great album.

I'm going to have to track down those Aftershok albums.
