Shifter (8)

Obscure and short-lived alternative rock band from the Montreal area who won runner-up honours at CHOM radio's 1997 edition "l'Esprit" contest (a perennial event showcasing both local and regional un-signed & up & coming artists). The foursome, "Victor Shifter", "Twin Shifter", "Pink Shifter" & "Atomic Shifter" (real names un-credited), subsequently recorded their only long play later the same year at the legendary Le Studio in Morin Heights, and released it on Tommy Mack's indie label Big Ray Records.
