View Profile
The Shills walk a fine line between delicate beauty and jolting, body shaking rock. Formed in early 2004, they have been cultivating a sound built from exacting musicianship & creative flexibility. The Shills' most recent release "Ganymede" is a concept record about a misanthrope who gets shipwrecked after leaving society to be alone. Without anyone else to focus his hate on he is forced to turn inward & slowly drives himself toward insanity. Experimental in nature, the record finds The Shills exploring new sounds while holding the course set by their previous 2 releases. The Shills draw on a wide range of influences such as The Beatles, Soundgarden, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Jeff Buckley, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Pedro The Lion and many more. With a nod to the past The Shills are making accessible yet challenging new sounds. As a live act The Shills have built a solid following throughout the Boston and New York areas. Their passion and precision on stage will draw you in leave a lasting impression.
