April 2023 update: We are sad to say by request of the band that Shih Tzu would like their self titled EP taken down. Reason being is they are unhappy with their performance on the record and want it banished from existence. This page is still up as an archival placeholder. The track release was:
We are proud to release the debut album by Shih Tzu! Featuring members from bands such as Thunder Dreamer, Quin, Bookstore, Remorse and more! This trio has the speed of hardcore punk, fuzzed out low end of sludge, wild feedback, melodic guitar riffs and dynamic slacker crooning to outright screaming. Recorded live to capture their raw and passionate energy, Shiz Tzu's '19 comes bursting out of the crate and we are begging for more!
