Penguins With Shotguns

Penguins with shotguns is a hard rock/metal band out of northern il/south wisconsin. We are a well-rehearsed high energy 5 peice. We have been a band together now for 4 years and have plenty of experience playing live and some experience recording. and we love the moshpit!!!!!

forming in high school the 5 members were no strangers to each other, most of us grew up together. Though none of us have ever had lessons over the last 4 years we have learned to utilize each other abilities and slowly developed a style all our own. We then decided to record and currently have 2 EP's, which are available at shows.

We live to play live, and will play live anywhere and any time. We have played, houses, basements, garages, bars, fests, venues. There is no moment more special the when you kick in to a hard part of the song and crowd turns into a chaotic pit of destruction!!!

We have a newer metal sound, with fast driving riffs and melodic leads. Our Vocals range from heavy screaming to harmonic singing. Our musical influences extend all through the history of rock, but we can be compared to bands such as Sevedust, taproot, trust company, lost prophets.
