SHIT OUT OF LUCK WRITER | Rob Grissom The Wilmington, North Carolina-based hardcore punk, thrash band Shit Out of Luck (S.O.L.), formed in 2009, and are veterans of the industry and the local scene of the Port City. Keith Wrench, wailing on guitar, has definitely paid his dues in the unapologetic music industry playing with local legends Betrayer, All Tore Up and Faceloss, and is on a personal mission to bring S.O.L. to the forefront of the genre. With band mates Mike Boone on bass and vox, who has performed with Sourvein, Betrayer, and Faceloss, and the addition of ex-Sans Sobriety, 30 Deep and Second Thoughts drummer Brad Ellington busting the skins and vox…these musicians are focused and kickin’ some ass. Their loud, hard and heavy guitar driven sound is reminiscent of the “old school punk” days with Ellington and Boone’s screaming vocals sharing the spotlight. The S.O.L. boys have offered two self-released albums that shine with pure punk aggression and angst-filled lyrics aiming straight at political and societal issues of the day… and they take no prisoners! Leaving their past in the dust, the newly formed Shit Out of Luck are determined to flex their thrash muscles and take charge of their own destiny…one venue at a time. Check out their new EP “Bogside” at and their cool merch at or catch them live October 2 at The Soapbox, opening for SkeletonWitch, in Wilmington and be prepared for an old-fashioned mosh pit! END
