Shihad: 40 Years of Rock and Roll, and Then… Silence

Okay, so you might be saying, "Shihad? Who are they?". Well, you're about to find out why they were HUGE in New Zealand. Let's take a trip down memory lane, back to 1983, where it all started. It was a different world back then, and New Zealand was no different. There was a lot of music, but the rock scene was just starting to bubble. Shihad was the band to watch, a bunch of young guys with serious chops and a whole lot of energy.

Their sound? It was hard-hitting rock, but it had a uniquely Kiwi flavour, a blend of attitude and melody that resonated with everyone from teenagers to parents. They released album after album, each one pushing boundaries, each one solidifying their position as one of New Zealand's biggest acts. You know, it's like watching a band go from playing in someone's garage to selling out stadiums. That's pretty much what happened to Shihad.

What Went Wrong?

Well, nothing really "went wrong". After all, they had an amazing 40-year run, way longer than most bands even dream of. You know, they had their ups and downs like everyone else. But their music was always there, a constant. They were always evolving, pushing themselves, never afraid to experiment. In a way, it's kind of like a beautiful goodbye. They weren't some washed-up band trying to cling to their past. They simply decided to walk away on their own terms, and that’s super admirable.

The Legacy

They left behind a mountain of music, a legacy that will inspire future generations of Kiwi musicians. They showed that you can achieve greatness, even if you come from a small country. And that's pretty awesome, if you think about it.

So yeah, Shihad's run has ended. But their music will live on, a testament to their talent, their passion, and their enduring influence. They weren't just a band, they were a part of New Zealand's musical fabric, a cultural icon that will be missed.

But hey, maybe they'll be back? You never know…
