what's the story with shihad's name again? did it used to be something else that they thought was pertinent to change after 9/11, or did they change it to something rubbish then change it back to shihad later on? is 'shihad' meant to be a different pronounciation of 'jihad'? it is almost but not quite like the word for martyr in arabic also. questions, i have many.

There is a good writeup on their Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shihad

My understanding of it was that they were on some major label (Warner I think), and once 9/11 came around, there was no way you could have a band in the states that sounded anything like Jihad.

They change it back not that long after, I think after 2 years, I think there was just one album released under Pacifier.
