Shack - Waterpistol

SHACK
Waterpistol
1995 Marina Records

Notes :
''Waterpistol'' is the second studio album by UK indie band Shack. The album was recorded in 1991, but it's release was delayed due to a studio fire which destroyed the master tapes. During the period between the album's recording and release, the band broke up and frontman Mick Head became addicted to heroin. A back-up of the recordings, lost and recovered by producer Chris Allison, was released on Marina Records in 1995.
In 1990, frontman Mick Head told NME that Shack's second album would be less lyrically serious than their first album ''Zilch'' and that the band's influences at the time were The Stone Roses, Flowered Up and The Charlatans.
