Shutter

There are two bands that go by the name of Shutter. Shutter (Scotland)www.myspace.com/shutterscotland
Shutter (Australia)www.myspace.com/shutteraus
1. Shutter are an Inverness based instrumental post-rock quartet from the highlands of Scotland. This remote "city" finally has something to sit up and pay attention to. Their songs progess from gentle instrumental meandering through the joint guitar of Matt and Pete into often beastly hammerings that the Deftones would be proud of.
