Not a pretty picture !!! 

 

Straight Shooter was formed in summer 2003 by Mike and Zander after a chance meeting in the local music shop in Berwick Upon Tweed (The Music Gallery).

 The original band was formed to play hard rock mainly from the early seventies, drawing from the usual suspects like Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, AC/DC and Ozzy. The original line up was Mike, Zander and John with Gary the young bass player from Berwick Band "This Side Up". This line up only played one date at the Swan center in Berwick. Soon after this gig, old time school friend of Mike's - Bill was brought in on bass.  The material has grown to include material from the like of Disturbed Audioslave,POD,Yngwie Malmsteen and Incubus.
