The band's name came from funky guitar plucking and chord slapping technique that characterized much of the nu metal sound. Members of the band list rap-funk-punk-metal fusion band Red Hot Chili Peppers as their major influence.  

Slapshock popularized the songs “Agent Orange,” “Sigaw,” “Misterio,” “Cariño Brutal,” “Unshakable,”and ”Langit” among others.
