Formed in the beginning of 1998 by Patrice LOUIS (Guitar) and Thierry DAGNICOURT (Keyboards), SHANNON plays a melodic hard rock that sticks to the skin. During the spring of 1998, the band enroles ex-JANNYLEE's singer Olivier DEL VALLE behind the mike, then Claude THILL (ex-DER KAISER) playing bass and Maxence PILO (ex-HEAVENLY) at the drum kit join the band to finally complete the line-up. Their debut and eponymous album (Shannon, released in November 2003 on the Anvilcorp. label and distributed by Wagram has been unanimously praised and regarded by the international press as one of the most impressive and brilliant record of the year in the Classic 80's US melodic rock style. With catchy hook lines, infectious choruses and a groovy and powerful rhythm section, SHANNON is the perfect alchemy between classic US melodic hard rock and typical European influenced NWOBHM sound, delivering a music as powerful as melodic. After the release of the album, the band takes the road and shares the stage with renowned artists such as Axxis, PINK CREAM 69 and Jeff Scott SOTO in Paris. In the middle of 2005, SHANNON sees its first line-up changes with the departure of Claude and Maxence, immediately replaced by, respectively, Nicolas FIXY (Bass) and Benjamin BERGEROLLE (Drums), both formerly in French epic-progressive TAÏ PHONG. Strongly encouraged with the success of their self-titled album, not only in France, but widely abroad, the band has taken the way to the studio to record, more motivated than ever. WORLD OF DESIRE, a 5-track demo EP, was released in 2007. SHANNON played several shows to present the new songs and was selected to play before GOTTHARD at the RAISMES FESTIVAL.

The band signed with ArtistService at the end of 2007 and Angel In Disguise, the brand new album, even more powerful than their debut, is world wide distributed by MusicBuyMail. Never missing an opportunity to play live, the band played eventually at the PARIS METAL FRANCE FESTIVAL.

The conflict arises when the singer expresses an incapacity to continue navigating this erratic and tumultuous relationship pattern, signaling a desire for stability and emotional clarity.
The repeated assertions of being unable to cope with the situation anymore suggest a breaking point in the singer's emotional resilience.

This refusal to tolerate further emotional turmoil reflects a sense of empowerment and self-awareness, indicating a resolve to prioritize their own well-being and emotional stability.
Overall, the lyrics of "No More Lies" by Shannon encapsulate a complex emotional landscape characterized by longing, unresolved emotions, and the struggle to break away from a turbulent relationship dynamic.

Line by Line Meaning
Lord knows I can't forget
It is difficult for me to move on and stop thinking about you
About you
Your memory still lingers in my mind
She don't wanna know
She is not interested in knowing where she stands in the world
Her place in the world
Her role or significance in society
She just wanna run
She only desires to escape or avoid her problems
All night in the storms
She seeks refuge or distraction from her troubles at night, despite the challenges
Pull up to your crib
Arrive at your house
When it's three in the morning
During the early hours of the day
But I can't deal with that
I cannot handle that situation anymore
No more
I have reached my limit and cannot continue
