Shudder To Think has carved out a sound that is as ambitious as it is unclassifiable. They

emerged as one of the seminal bands from the Washington, D.C. punk/post-hardcore scene of

the late 1980s and early ’90s, with the original lineup – singer Craig Wedren, bassist Stuart Hill,

drummer Mike Russell, and guitarist Chris Matthews – releasing their first few groundbreaking

albums on D.C.

’s legendary Dischord Records.

After a lineup change that brought drummer Adam Wade (Jawbox) and guitarist Nathan Larson

into the fold, the band broke with the underground ethos of the era and signed to Epic

Records/Sony. They released Pony Express Record in 1994 - widely considered to be one of

the most adventurous and singular rock albums of the 1990s, and which continues to confound

and inspire artists and listeners to this day. The relatively sunny 50,000 B.C. followed in 1997,

recorded with new drummer Kevin March (Guided By Voices).

By the late-90’s, Shudder To Think shifted their focus to making music for film. They wrote,

performed, and produced songs and scores for several iconic films from the burgeoning NYC

indie film scene of the time including Jesse Peretz’s First Love, Last Rites featuring

collaborations with Jeff Buckley, Liz Phair, Billy Corgan, and more; Lisa Cholodenko’s High Art;

and Todd Haynes’ Velvet Goldmine. By the end of the decade, the band decided to go on

indefinite hiatus with a few performances sprinkled over the next quarter century.

For the first time in over a decade, Shudder to Think has decided to un-hit pause and began

performing and making new music again in Spring 2025. Look for shows and a new album from

the band, which now features the return of Adam Wade on drums and the additions of composer

Jherek Bischoff on bass and producer/multi-instrumentalist Clint Walsh on guitar.

Zwei Null Zwei is Eli Janney (Girls Against Boys), James Canty (The Make-Up), Geoff Sanoff (Edsel), and Sohrab Habibion (The Obits). Appealing to fans of Neu!, Roxy Music, and Wire, the NYC-based kraut-punks played their first show in 2021 and have released 3 EPs to date: zweinullzwei.bandcamp.com
