Biografia : Sheppard

Sheppard are a six-piece indie pop group from Brisbane, Australia.

Formed as a duo in 2009 by siblings Amy (vocals) and George Sheppard (vocals/keys), the group slowly expanded to include their sister Emma Sheppard on bass, along with friends Jay Bovino (vocals, guitar), Michael Butler (guitar), and Dean Gordon (drums).

Featuring a buoyant mix of strong harmonies and catchy, uptempo pop, the band released its self-titled debut EP in August 2012 and quickly expanded its touring horizons, playing festivals in America, South Africa, and the U.K.

By the following the summer, their EP had peaked at number 18 on the Australian charts and they had been nominated for an ARIA music award.

In February 2014, they issued the single "Geronimo," which shot to number one at home while also gaining traction in Europe and beyond.

Prior to recording their first album, Sheppard signed with Decca Records internationally, yet remained independent in their home country...

Released in July 2014, their debut LP, Bombs Away!, was a major success, reaching number two on the Australian charts before getting a worldwide release a few months later.
