SSS, which stands for Short Sharp Shock, was formed in Liverpool, England, in 2005, by vocalist Foxy, guitarist Broomo, bassist Magill, and drummer Dave. Inspired by the convergence of metal and hardcore known as "crossover" (pioneered by mid-'80s legends like Agnostic Front, C.O.C., and Suicidal Tendencies), the quartet released their self-titled debut album through Dead and Gone Records in 2006, and saw it reissued one year later by renowned indie Earache Records. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
