Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes; Shutdown emerged from the crumbling New York hardcore scene in late 1995. Their positive message and distinctive sound has catapulted them to the top of the hardcore world. Over the past five years Shutdown has grown into one of the most prevalent NYC hardcore bands around, selling over 20,000 copies of their Victory debut CD Against All Odds. From there they released an EP entitled Something to Prove on Victory in late February of 2000. 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. The new CD shows a definite progression from their debut, but it doesn't stray too far from their patented sound. Mark Scondotto's distinctive vocals fused with Steve DellaCroce's menacing guitar riffs sets Shutdown apart from all other hardcore bands.
From the very beginning of their careers, Shutdown has been on non-stop tours with hardcore heavy weights such as, Agnostic Front, the legendary Cro-Mags and label mates Hatebreed. Their high-energy music and impressive live show has proven they can roll with the best of them.
Shutdowns signature breakdowns and chunky guitar sound is enough to please any hardcore fan. Each song stands apart form the next. The CD is packed with an array of guest vocalists, Freddy Cricien of Madball fame shouts out the chorus for the title track Few and Far Between. Marks brothers, Mike (of Inhuman) and Jon lend him a hand on Homestretch and Afraid to Fail
Shutdown defines positive, inspirational hardcore. They portray a message of unity, standing up for your morals, and living a life where you are true to yourself. Shutdowns fresh new sound will win the hearts of thousands and have them screaming their anthems throughout the entire world...
Shutdown's newest offering, "FEW AND FAR BETWEEN" is in stores now. Aggressive yet passionate, "FEW AND FAR BETWEEN" is their most mature material to date, redefining the future of hardcore.

Transparent
Shutdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For your place in life
Choke on your words
Now you're nothing
You can't complain
Never could sustain
Why hold you beliefs
All for nothing
Now we see right through
Fake is what you are
One day you'll fall
Lied to my face
Watch you fall from grace
Words you know you never meant
A word you said
I'll never let
You get to me
Your words ring hollow
Your actions are transparent
Like those who follow
Your motives are apparent
Never worked for anything
Well it was always handed to you
One day you'll see how it feels
When it all comes back to haunt you
The lyrics in Shutdown's song Transparent describe the downfall of someone who has taken advantage of their friends and their position in life. The singer seems to have placed their trust in this person, only to be let down and betrayed. The individual in question cannot sustain their beliefs and comes off as fake. The phrase "watch you fall from grace" suggests that this person had a higher standing in the singer's eyes and that they have now lost that status.
The chorus is particularly strong in its criticism of this individual. They are described as having words that "ring hollow" and actions that are "transparent," meaning that they are easily seen through. Others who follow this person blindly are also described as transparent, highlighting how this individual's behavior has affected not just the singer, but those around them as well.
The lyrics suggest that this person has never worked for anything and has always had things handed to them. However, the final line of the song reminds them that one day they will feel the consequences of their actions when everything comes back to haunt them.
Overall, the message of this song is clear: actions have consequences, and those who take advantage of others will eventually be caught out.

Watch you fall from grace
I will see you lose your status and prestige

Well it was always handed to you
You have always been given things without earning them
One day you'll see how it feels
You will one day experience the negative consequences of your actions
When it all comes back to haunt you
When you face the negative consequences of your past choices

I feel like lack of privacy on a clear phone would ruin it

imagine trying to sneakily watch some abhorrent shit on your phone with airpods, and then they can see it through the back of the screen
