Early Formation: "BATTLE ON!" (2019 - 2020)

​Before BLOODSHOT's conception 3 High school friends came together and formed a project called "BATTLE ON!", It was a small 4-piece band, Shawn on Rhythm guitar, Jack on Lead, and K. on Drums.

The three and later on a new bassist they found named Jakob would work on a short experimental EP "But You Know What, Sometimes Things You Love Don't Always Love You Back." 

The tracklist comprising of demos such as:
  1. The Greatest Move in Puroresu (The Burning Hammer)
  2. Dr. Death Pt 2
  3. Doomsday Device
  4. Warcry 
  5. Put that title up one more time, and I’ll put up my entire career

The group would later soon after have a rough falling out with their bassist, causing a rift between the 4-piece. Resulting in the disbanding of the band.

BLOODSHOT's Formation (2023)

About 3 years after the disbanding of "BATTLE ON!" the three former friend's found themselves together again, after a few months of rekindling their friendship and reigniting their love for music. "BLOODSHOT" was born!

But there was a problem, the group needed to find a new bass player. Struggling to find one early on,  Shawn ended up taking the role of bassist . Jack later on decided to take on rhythm as the band had finally found its final founding member Matty on lead.

Matty, a little younger than the rest of the band was searching for a new band after his prior band broke up earlier that year. He would end up being the perfect fit for the band.

Debut EP and Supporting Tour (December 2023 - Feb 2024)

​Soon after the band would release their first EP "Warcry" This short album contained 4 tracks, most notably the song the album itself is named after. The reception to the album was out of this world, releasing the album under POM RECORDS. The band would be invited to be a special guest on Faceless Culture's 2024 "If All Else Fails" World Tour alongside unsigned act "Last Ditch Effort", soon after their first EP dropped. To most in the band, all was good.
