Ploughing on rocks. Without resistance, no beauty. Shift is still 100% anti-everything, ‘especially anti-everything people say you should be.’ Ploughshares is not that band you saw breaking up a pub last year, even though they may look like it. Squad is ‘constant growth’, ‘no fear’; a constant tension. The four put the heat on each other, picking the blood out from under each other's nails - and all that friction never gave as much shine as on new album ‘DSM-5’.

Call it hardcore, call it punk, call it ‘vicious pop music’. Call it what you want, it doesn't matter. Shifts takes a ruthless approach and exists only in the moment. That moment? Then you need to see the punk band around Ray Fuego live at work.
A sold-out tour with the friends of Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, shows in the best clubs in the Netherlands and Belgium and a packed festival summer -including Pinkpop- put the band definitively on the map.
‘Ploegendienst, perhaps the best Dutch punk rep of today, with swearing canonades from frontman Ray Fuego and banging hardcore. - Says the Volkskrant after their memorable show at Paradiso's main hall.
Good, the band is in shape and they will show it.
