6 piece Auckland hardcore punk band SHITRIPPER formed in 2007 and have been playing their brand of fast, angry, straight to the point music ever since.

Led by an intense and layered duel vocal attack their songs are honest and flat out - most clocking in under 2 minutes.

With 5 self released 'Bad Boy EPs' already under their belt Shitripper have recently recorded their latest batch of aggressive, poignant and brutal truths on their upcoming 2013 release - BRAIN DEFECT - the band will be releasing this in June on CD, 7" and digital download.

Shitripper are about to head out on tour supporting Richmond, Virginia Thrash Metal heavyweights MUNICIPAL WASTE in Wellington (NZ), Auckland (NZ) Sydney (Aus) and Melbourne (Aus) as well as playing their own side shows in Australia before coming home to officially unleash BRAIN DEFECT.
