Alignment of the planets…

With a couple ads on Bandmix.com and a relationship or two gone south, the wheels were set in motion for four guys to meet and begin a creative journey that would change the world forever. Or at the very least Scott’s house for a few months.

Frontman Terry Gowing, a long time songwriter and instrumentalist was looking to turn his guitar-centric song ideas into a legitimate rock act. Jim Ryan and Tim Giddens were looking for the missing piece of their musical lives, and it wasn’t long before the pieces fell into place, then fell apart, and fell into place again to form the band we now know as Firing Shawna.

With the later addition of Scott Crisafulli, the band began developing their sound. Reminiscent of post-grunge 90’s rock, tunes like Phantoms and Exit Wounds became the war cry to bring back rock. With pop artists selling out stadiums and rock venues and radio stations folding, Firing Shawna stands firm to deliver their message, “Rock is here to stay”. If you don’t like it, they’ll just play it louder.

Terry Gowing

“When I was young, I can remember picking out the instruments of the songs playing on the radio. I remember hearing a bass line, and without even understanding that it was a different instrument, I could hear the part and how it interacted with the guitars. I could hear the sounds of the different drums and imagine the limbs of the drummer coordinating to play the parts. In highschool, I discovered recording. It became a reason to learn how to play everything. Every sound was a color, and I was out to create a masterpiece. Still am.” -Terry Gowing
