Shane Gallagher (born December 30, 1973) is a musician who played guitar for the band +44, Mercy Killers and The Nervous Return.^[1]

Background

In 2005, Gallagher left The Nervous Return to join Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker (both of blink-182 fame) and guitarist Craig Fairbaugh to form +44.^{[citation needed]} He was brought in as a replacement for Carol Heller as guitarist in +44 after she left the band to start a family. In 2007, he officially became a member of The Mercy Killers and he went on tour with them.^{[citation needed]} Once +44 took a break so Mark and Travis could focus on the new blink-182 record, Shane worked on several different musical projects—including the Noise Chapter, which consisted of ex-members of one of his previous bands, called the Scrimmage Heroes—as well as the instrumental, acoustic act A Death To Stars.^{[citation needed]}
