Shitman is a four-piece from Ede - Lucas, Jurriaan, Bram and Sim - who started out as a rock 'n' roll cover band before evolving into one of the Dutch underground's most abrasive punk/nu-metal acts. The band describes its sound as stoner nu-metal built around themes of misery and raw anger rather than the genre's usual haze. Their live shows are notorious for total chaos: moshpits, crowd-spraying water guns and audiences that leave soaking wet.
Shitman announced an EP release show for their second EP 'Devour' on July 4 in Astrant, Ede.
Shitman had a track on the Heiderock LP, a vinyl record with seven Ede bands, released by Astrant.
The debut EP 'Desire' was released in April 2025 and the release show at Astrant was sold out.
Shitman played more than fifty shows throughout the Netherlands in 2025, including at Popronde 2025.
EdeStad profiled the band as a 'strong quartet' with a style that falls under nu-metal with a punk edge.
