NASHVILLE ROCKERS SHIROCK ARE
FIRST INDEPENDENT BAND TO BE SOLD IN HOLLISTER CO. STORES
Debut Album Everything Burns Hit Shelves on September 22nd
Nashville rock band SHIROCK has been singled out as the first independent band that Hollister Co., a division of Abercrombie & Fitch, has chosen to distribute in their stores across the U.S. SHIROCK’s debut album, Everything Burns was made available today, Tuesday, September 22nd in over 500 Hollister stores, giving the band the distinction of being the only indie band to ever grace the shelves at the upscale retail chain. Produced by Jay Ruston (The Donnas, Cold War Kids), Everything Burns is an album featuring anthem-driven rock songs with passionate lyrics that convey positive messages of hope.
How a young band like SHIROCK found its way to the hallowed shelves of Hollister makes for an impressive story. Abercrombie & Fitch / Hollister music supervisor Ted Keyes found SHIROCK’s music on iTunes, and liked it enough to add the band’s song “Calm Inside the Storm” to Hollister’s in-store playlist rotation soon after. SHIROCK started getting messages from fans saying they heard the song while shopping, and the response was so good on Hollister’s end that they stepped up their relationship to distributing the Everything Burns CD through their stores. Keyes explains, "SHIROCK embodies the aspirational qualities we look for when we select an artist to form a partnership with our company. Their music not only resonates with our target audience but presents itself as a testament to the true spirit of independent music."
Chuck Shirock, the band’s founder and front man, added, “We are really excited about the opportunity to be an independent band on the shelves of Hollister in company with groups like Green Day and The Killers. We’ve always felt the need to get our music to as many people as possible and being independent gives us the freedom to be creative and take advantage of unique opportunities. I want to thank Hollister for helping us accomplish that. This is an exciting time in music and we’re glad we are a part of it.”
SHIROCK is a five-piece band that is not content with simply creating music and singing about making a difference –;; they take their message further with their non-profit organization “Everything Burns.” Built on the idea of “Living for Things That Matter,” the organization strives to encourage and equip people to get involved and make a difference in their communities. Earlier this year the band hit the road with their 14-city “Everything Burns Tour,” which partnered with local charities dedicated to solving issues of homelessness and poverty. In keeping with the band’s mission, all income from the tour went directly to charity.
With a sound that has been compared to U2 and Coldplay “the band's positive messages on songs like "Still Young," "New Solution" and “Calm Inside the Storm" are uplifting without being preachy, encouraging without being strident” (Birmingham News). HM Magazine says Everything Burns is “literally the complete package. Quality songs, vocals, and instrumentation: imagine a filled-out rock band going after shiny Jack’s Mannequin hooks.”
To support the release of Everything Burns, SHIROCK is planning another tour for later this Fall.
So we made it back from Cornerstone Festival alive...if you haven't seen the videos, check them out on the SHIROCK Backstage (backstage.SHIROCK.net). We had a great time at the festival...we did a lot of work with EB (Everything Burns) while there, and it went amazing.
We're now back in Nashville for a while, working on a lot of different things. Pap & Chuck are working on new Irock Clothing designs for the Fall/ Winter, and some new programs for Everything Burns. We got all of the gear set-up in the The Garage (the garage/studio at Chuck & Pap's house), and we're going to be working on some demos, and additions to the show for the fall tour.
We're getting ready for the Hollister Store distribution to start toward the end of the summer, and we're pulling together the team of people on the business end for all of our plans in the fall.
Over the last few days we've been working on the Backstage Site - check it out and spend some time exploring. We use the Backstage as a place for fans to get a deeper view into what we're doing. We post all photos, videos, song demos, journal entries, scanned-in pages from Chuck & Pap's songbooks, & more there.
Anyway, keep in touch, and if you use Facebook be sure to find us on there.
Speak soon,
Team SHIROCK
We're back from our trip to Birmingham, AL for City Stages festival, a couple live TV show performances, interviews & more...
Every day was humid and nearly 100˚ - probably the worst weather I could imagine. Regardless, we had a great time, and are looking forward to more shows in Birmingham & the rest of Alabama.
Next stop for us is Cornerstone Festival in Illinois. We leave early next week and will be there all week. We're doing 2 shows there, one of which is a regular show (see our tour schedule for info) & the main event is the "official" Everything Burns Showcase. If you're going to Cornerstone, make sure to come to the EB Showcase on July 4th, Encore II stage.
Also if you're going to be there ake sure to get your "EB" Armband - we're partnering with Compassion to raise money to help prevent kids from getting Malaria. A $10 donation will help keep 1 kid from contracting the disease. And any donation more than $2 also recieves a FREE EB Armband. (*See the Everything burns FEED to check out a picture of the EB Armband.)
So if you're going to Cornerstone, we'll see you there! If not, see you soon.
love: SHIROCK / Chuck

Just a few days ago we wrapped up these 4 promo videos for Everything Burns...these 4 were used at a big EB event put on by Belmont University in Nashville, TN.
As you might know, we're currently working on building the EB website (www.everythingburns.org), and we will be making a single version of these 4 videos that will be our "official" EB promo video.
We've got a lot of the ideas down with these four, and will be editing a little, and filming a little more before the final is released with the launch of the new EB site.
Check out the four videos on the right under videos...here's the 1st of the four.

Everything Burns is in a contest that Christie's Cookies is putting on to give away a large grant to a few charities...we are really excited about this, and the chance to be a part of it.

So we're hard at work on the new Everything Burns website. We're so excited about this project! This site will be an amazing resource and hopefully an encouragement to anyone who stumbles across it.
Also an update...so far, EB has raised money to purchase mosquito nets for 70 kids in our partnership with the "Bite Back" campaign against Malaria. (www.biteback.net)
Among other projects, we are continuing to raise money for the campaign, and will have more news soon on how you can be involved. For now, visit the Bite Back site: www.biteback.net
Keep in touch!
More news coming soon...
How it all begins...
This is how it all starts, once we have the ideas and the basic direction we have to get specific with every measurement on [...]
We go back & forth with them until the fit is perfect. Then once we're happy with the way it fits and feels, we'll take that and print designs, do special washes, "age" it...whatever else we'd like to do for that specific shirt.
It's a long process, but we only want to sell shirts and stuff that we would wear...so why wouldn't we take the time to get it right for you? :)
More news and updates coming soon...
New Irock Designs / In Process

Summer
It feels like we just finished running a marathon. [...]
It feels like we just finished running a marathon. I think for a long time I’ve constantly felt like we’re chasing a goal or trying to meet a deadline…just running toward the next show or something.
The last 3 weeks have been pretty draining. We were in Michigan for a few shows, and then back to Nashville for a couple of days. Pap and I then flew to Las Vegas for my sisters birthday, then to LA for a week. The boys all met up with us toward the end of the week for a show/showacse at LA’s club – The Roxy on that Saturday. Pap and I had our 6th anniversary on that next Sunday (June 13th), so we drove up the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) to “wine country” in California. Then we flew out of LA back to Nashville on Tuesday, and left for Icthus Festival on Wednesday which is in Kentucky. We were there the rest of the week working with EB (Everything Burns Nonprofit), and then the boys drove up to the festival and we played 2 shows last Saturday night!
We’re all back in Nashville now, and it feels like I can finally breathe. We’re going to be taking some time to write, demo new song ideas, work on launching Everything Burns fully with new programs and initiatives and the website…we’re making all new merchandise for both SHIROCK and EB – we’ll also be working on stuff with Irock Clothing… We’ll also be upgrading our touring setup, possibly redoing the live show with some new lighting and sound equipment…lots to do! Oh, and we’ll be releasing the “Still Young” music video and on Rock Band, and starting a radio campaign. Maybe even getting into making a second music video to keep them coming 
We’ll be posting videos and all kinds of new content on both SHIROCK.net and the Backstage Site. We’ve got a lot of big plans coming up, and we’re using this time right now to set ourselves up to really well for our upcoming touring.
Anyway, more news coming soon…keep in touch,
love always, Chuck Shirock
