The Shutdown

From first beginnings in Crowborough, The Shutdown was formed by three mates keen to develop themselves as musicians. Starting in their early teens they began to write, cover and enjoy playing music together. The band is composed of Jed Long (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Danny Jackson (Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals) and Stephen Pugh (Percussion). After signing to Alati Records, they found success with their first single “Lights On”, which was distributed internationally on iTunes, Spotify and many other online retailers. Since then they have taken on new influences from bands such as Bombay Bicycle Club, The Maccabees and Two Door Cinema Club. Bringing with it a new direction, their most recent EP “Rise” shows off a variety of tracks with a new found style that they translate onto the acoustic stage.
