Bio
Shock & Awe formed in October of 2004. Shayna Taylor (vocals) founded the band after the disbanding of her previous project. Jake Daly-Engel (rhythm guitar) was the first to join up, followed by Cory Lonas (drums). In search of a lead guitarist, Shayna turned to her former rhythm guitarist, Dave Buonocore. Dave joined the fold and more than competently filled the shoes of lead guitarist. The band has been writing and practicing feverishly since its conception. Alternative music with an arena rock twist gives the band a bold and different sound. Their music has a powerful dynamic in which both sides of the spectrum are satisfied. With songs like "Tango" the band explores the dark and cryptic, only to jump right into songs like "Breathe For Me", a fun and powerful piece. The band believes in keeping a wide variety of songs in their repertoire. With each having such different musical backgrounds and interests, is it any wonder? Shayna Taylor is strongly influenced by Siouxsie & the Banshees, while taking cues from more “pop” bands from the 80’s with her writing style. Dave Buonocore's style reflects his influences of bands like Kiss and HIM. Jake Daly-Engel has more experimental influences and his playing adds flavor to compliment Dave’s riffs. And Cory Lonas ties the entire band together with his versatile playing. With more of a hardcore background he provides the band with a harder sound that adds freshness to this female fronted band.
