During their relatively short time together SHOTMAKER harnessed the collective creativity of the Canadian DIY community to make something special happen. The band is widely recognized for influencing the direction of emo and post-hardcore music.

They wrote and recorded two 7”s, two LPs, a split LP (with Washington, D.C., based Maximillian Colby) and numerous songs for compilations and other split records. The band thrived on playing live shows and completed three coast-to-coast North American tours in addition to many smaller tours. They regularly shared the stage with bands like Policy of 3, Los Crudos, Unwound, Rorschach, Cap’n Jazz, Indian Summer, Rye Coalition, Modest Mouse, Propagandhi, Hoover, Clikatat Ikatowi, Blonde Redhead, and Fugazi.

“a moment in time: 1993-1996” is a band-curated, 33 track, 3xLP box set on transparent blue, green, and purple vinyl in a black, debossed, anti-scratch slipcase. It includes a 12 page booklet with never before seen images from Canadian photographer Shawn Scallen who chronicled much of the band’s history. All material mastered for vinyl by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, OR.
