Subtle Shot | tl

Subtle Shot is easily an ace within the Gulf Coast scene, which is also where they call home. They have a large fan base that has voted them to play in the Mississippi Coast Coliseum Crawfish Festival three years in a row. Their last EP, which was self-titled, completely sold out of hard copies within a few months and with a growing fan base, the release of “Bad Ace” is expected to surpass the sales of their first album. It has been released on iTunes and Amazon MP3 and has had continuous sales prior to the release of the hard copy.

This is the first large scale effort for the band, consisting of guitarist Stephen Van Etten, vocalist Andrew Van Etten, bassist Chris Fowler, and touring drummer Mason Holland. “Bad Ace” was recorded in Nashville at Rivergate Studios, owned by Chris Henderson (3 Doors Down) and Bobby Capps (.38 Special). Subtle Shot spent nearly 3 months in pre-production getting the right sounds together before recording.

Subtle Shot’s unique sound has helped the band quickly rise in popularity since they formed in 2005. Currently, the fan-favorite songs are “Please” and “Outshown,” which show the versatility of their sound. “Please” can easily be described as a true rock anthem, where “Outshown” is a softer song that conveys a lot of emotion.

With their one-of-a-kind sound combined with their natural talent and love for music, Subtle Shot is sure to be a crowd pleaser for years to come. .
