[edit] White Hot Bullets
White Hot Bullets are a teenage band rock/pop punk band based in Aberdeen, Scotland.
The band is comprised of Kenneth Lypka; Rythm/Lead guitar and Vocals, Xander Parle; Lead/Rythm guitar, Alex Sharples; Bass guitar, and Matt Smith; Drums, occasional mixing and backing vocals.
[edit] History & Early Gigs
White Hot Bullets was formed in February 2007, by Matt and Kenneth, after the break-up of short lived band, We Wiped Out The Dinosaurs. The earliest songs were acoustic, recorded in Matts bedroom, on a computer. Shortly after, Alex was drafted in on bass. In March of the same year, Xander was asked to join as a second guitarist, to give a bigger sound.
Within a month of Xander joining the band, they were offered a gig supporting touring ska band The JB Conspiracy, alongside local band Blankest Year.
This was followed by a sporadic series of supporting gigs, most of which certain members have turned up drunk to.
[edit] Control EP
Using the proceeds from gigs, WHB started recording their first EP. Recorded at Aberdeen Foyer, the EP made around £100 pounds in profit, being recorded for £30, and also secured an all day gig with Foyer Live with several local acts.
[edit] Future plans
White Hot Bullets are currently in the process of writing new material, in the hopes of not having to play the same set at every single gig. New songs are expected to be more experimental. Their most recent recording was a song called Fine Let's Go, also recorded at Foyer in one take.
[edit] Trivia
"Sixth of Five" on the Control EP features recordings of the band pissing around, often at the expense of Kenneth, trying to record vocals, aswell as an early song, "Life in Animation" and an accoustic rendition of Too Far Gone To Return
Nothing Xander writes has ever been used.
WHB all like Jagermeister, a taste shared only with Steven, a friend of the band.
Alex mis-named many of the tracks on iTunes, for example, Too far Gone To Return, and Asphyxia. He is a muppet.
