Disheartened after the split of metal/hardcore band '''Fall of Reason''', ''Stu Yovan'' and ''Anthony Zillante'' stockpiled their new material and formed '''Shot in Paris'''. They recruited Fall of Reason drummer ''Con Koutsouliotas'' and guitarist ''Carlo Mendoza'' to make up the rest of the line-up, but the position for bass player was open, until it was suggested that long time friend and guitarist, ''Pete Panagaris'', was interested. In September 2006, with the lineup complete, the band entered rehearsals and began to refine their material.

'''Shot in Paris''' made their presence known across the Adelaide metal and hardcore scene, playing almost every weekend across Adelaide for the first half of 2007. The latter half of that year was spent working on their debut EP and adjusting to subsequent line up changes. At this time, ''Carlo Mendoza'' became disillusioned with the changes in the group and chose to step down as guitarist. Bassist, ''Pete Panagaris'' moved to guitar, and ''James Hurford'' was recruited to play bass.
 
January 2008 marked the release of the debut EP '''The Lines that Divide Us''' at the Enigma bar. The disc was recieved with enthusiam from the metal fraternity, yet amongst the group, morale was low. The band began to burn themselves out from full time study and work. Practises became few and far between. By the latter half of 2008, the band imploded playing their last show at the Adelaide Unibar in November, 2008.
 
Written in retrospect to the bands 2008 split, ''Daniel Gaskin'' of Music SA wrote:


"'''The Lines That Divide Us''' is a blistering debut EP for fans of metal/hardcore that sticks to the guidelines and gives you exactly what you’re looking for. For any band looking to slot in nicely to the metal-core community that is so prominent in our fine city of Adelaide, Shot In Paris were doing a mighty fine job. To stand out on a global stage, metal-core bands do need something to set them apart, and perhaps moving on from The Lines That Divide Us, Shot In Paris would have found that point of difference."
