American Sharks stream new album '11:11' (The End Records) early, Austin punk-metal trio returns w/ crushing riffs

"A little bit stoner, a little bit punk, a lot a bit fuzz, it is just the right mixture to create that delicious blend of awesomeness." -- Nerdist

"A high-octane exhibition of their self-created blend of stoner fuzz, punk and rock ‘n roll...11:11 marks American Sharks’ magnificent return to the helm of all things sonically heavy." -- Metal Assault

"Puts Motorhead's rhythm section, The Stooges' raw power, and Black Sabbath's evil melodies in a blender. For a more modern comparison, it also sounds a bit like Mutoid Man." -- Brooklyn Vegan

Austin trio American Sharks are streaming their forthcoming album 11:11 ahead of release today via Metal Assault. Hear and share 11:11 HERE. (Direct YouTube.) The album will be available via NYC label The End Records on May 10th.

Brooklyn Vegan recently shared the single,"Spare The Rod" HERE. (Direct YouTube.) Watch a comedic basic cable parody video for the album track "Masters" available to watch and share via YouTube.

American Sharks is a three-piece band hailing from Austin, TX. Since the release of their self-titled debut album, American Sharks has toured extensively supporting the likes of GWAR, Clutch, The Sword, Red Fang, Big Business, Corrosion of Conformity and many others. After touring to support their debut album, American Sharks took time off to write and record their self-produced follow up album. With a spring 2019 release date, American Sharks will look to expand on the story they began writing in 2013.

“Austin's American Sharks provide the antidote to a mob of grimacing heshers...heavy metal soul, stoner rock brains, and a punk rock heart, the fast-rising power trio yells and pounds its way through rollicking nuggets of crushed concrete and dirty steel.” -- Michael Toland, Austin Chronicle

“American Sharks are creating some of the grittiest, rawest and realest rock and roll we've heard in a very long time.” -- Diffuser.fm

“American Sharks play that special brand of hard rock we love so much. A little bit stoner, a little bit punk, a lot a bit fuzz, it is just the right mixture to create that delicious blend of awesomeness...If you’re not into American Sharks, fix that that. Get into them. Rock ‘n’ Roll waits for no one.” --Benjamin Bailey, Nerdist

11:11 will be available on LP, CD and download on May 17th, 2019 via The End Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.
