Artist Info: Shortway

Shortway was originally formed as a 5 piece with a much longer name. Most of the original members heralded from Fairbanks, AK until their mass exodus to Portland, Oregon in 1998-99. They released a 3- song demo as a 5-piece that was self titled and immediately began work on their first full-length.
