A Band That Defined a Generation

For those unfamiliar, Shihad (formerly known as "The Head" and "The Head Like A Hole") were a force to be reckoned with in the New Zealand music scene. They started way back in 1985, and their grunge-infused sound, powerful lyrics, and explosive live shows quickly made them a household name.

The band's legacy is immense, with 11 studio albums, countless awards, and a devoted fanbase that spans generations. They were pioneers of the New Zealand rock scene, influencing countless other bands and artists.

The Reason for the Split?

While the band hasn't gone into specifics about the reasons behind the split, it's clear that all four members - Jon Toogood, Phil Knight, Karl Buchanan, and Matt Hewitt - have decided it's time to move on.

What's Next for Shihad?

The band's future is uncertain, but their music will live on. Fans can still enjoy their extensive back catalog and relive their favorite moments. Shihad's influence on the New Zealand music scene will undoubtedly endure for years to come.

A Farewell to Legends

It's sad to see such a legendary band go their separate ways. But let's remember the incredible journey they've had, the amazing music they've given us, and the impact they've had on generations of music lovers. Shihad, we'll miss you! 🙏
