HEADSHOT (NETHERLANDS)
The roots from Headshot lay in April 2003. Lead singer Floris van Dulmen played in many bands, but was searching for a new project. He was inspired a lot by the first albums from for example Korn, Deftones en Hed P.E. This sound he called new wave, Alternative Metal, the old Now Metal!

Finding a guitar player was no problem. Remco Petri, with whom he formed the singer/songwriter duo Independent, wanted to join this project without thinking. The DJ was an old friend of the lead singer. These two class mates from high school often exchanged music. Now was the time fort hem to form a new band.
After this they had to find a bass player and drummer. When Floris contacted Wouter van Dam for bass he also brought a drummer with him. Satisfaction there was for this young, talented drummer with the name Koen van Aken. The band was complete; Headshot was a fact!

Once a week the guys from the band came together in the practice room. They used a lot of different styles the individual band members used in there previous bands. Because of this Headshot has an original sound. Dynamics is very important for the band. This resulted in an aggressive, active vibe in there sound with even some funk and Hip-Hop.
Important for the band is the political themes behind the songs and with this they give away an active show. With this they try to make people think about there own choices in life and to take part in political discussions.

Currently they are working on a new album. Recording time december 2007.

2005 (June) Against Our World (6 track demo)
