The success of the EP was just a small taste of the magnitude of their new CD, Few and Far Between, produced by Roger Miret of Agnostic Front, shows how the band has grown both musically and in life. Starting the band when some of the members were only 14, Shutdown is all grown up and ready to take on the world.
