1. LABEL UPDATE!
2. *SHELS ALBUM UPDATE
3. ANCIENTS – RELEASE DEBUT SINGLE & PLAN FOR EP 
4. LATITUDES NEW ALBUM
5. THE ASCENT OF EVEREST – US/CANDA TOUR AND VIDEO
6. BLACK SHEEP WALL – US TOUR & NEW ALBUM

1. LABEL UPDATE!

sorry for the lack of label updates y’all! we’re still here… promise!

and now that Plains of the Purple Buffalo is on the verge of being unleashed to the world we figured it’d be a good time to squeeze in a quick shelsmusic update!

so, last year we unleashed a ton of yummy stuff from our hives. 7 new releases, including debuts by Brother/Ghost & Pretend, a new Admiral Angry EP on Vinyl, new albums by Ef and The Ascent of Everest and our very first ever Label Compilation 🙂 we then took some much needed time to finish our own new album Plains of the Purple Buffalo. 

being the small DIY operation that we are, we’ve had to be super picky about the projects we’ve gotten involved with in the past.. and starting NOW we’re gonna be even more picky – we’re gonna focus on fewer releases every year, maybe 3 or 4 max – and put more TIGEERRRUUPPERCUTS into every one. yeah. 

so, 2011 will kick off for shelsmusic with the new *shels album Plains of the Purple Buffalo

– and followed by the debut single and then EP by Ancients – featuring members of Rinoa, Crydebris and *shels.

 

We’ll also be announcing another new release soon – just waiting to confirm it, but this thing has had us jizzing in our panties non-stop for the last few weeks… so stay tuned for more news on that!

we’re looking forward to getting back to work with the label and as bringing you awesome music from around the planet. we’re super stoked to be doing what we do – working with some of the coolest artists and musicians from around the world – And we’re totally blessed to have the most awesome and dedicated music lovers on the planet following and supporting what we do – we promise to keep working our asses off for you to bring you the best shit we can!

see below for other bits and pieces from our magical kingdom:

mucho love and respect!

2. *SHELS ALBUM UPDATE
ok… no one panic, but the release date for Plains of the Purple Buffalo has been pushed back to July 11th, due to some delays at the factory. all pre-orders will ship out on June 27th and should land by end of June. The album will be available at all good record stores and digital retail outlets worldwide on the web, including iTunes etc.. BUT if you’re planing to download the album (legitimately) PLEASE do so at http://www.shelsmusic.com instead of iTunes because they’re a bunch of thieving mofos and apple has enough money already 😛

Also – be sure to check out the next issue of Rock Sound Magazine (on news stands around the planet June 22) for a new track from the album on the cover CD, an awesome feature and a full page album review. yes! 🙂

we also have a limited edition Vinyl pressing of the album available at http://www.shelsmusic.com. but we still need 20 more orders to be able to afford this, so if you haven’t ordered a copy yet – go do it! it’s only 22$ for a double vinyl 12″ packed full of awesomeness 🙂 go go go! 🙂

6. BLACK SHEEP WALL – TOUR AND NEW ALBUM
In 2008 we introduced you to one of the heaviest bands on the planet. and after witnessing LA sludge metal doomers Black Sheep Wall completely tear it up at Murderfest alongside Converge, The Red Chord and others earlier that year – we knew the world was in for another A Hole being torn. 

following the incredible response from around the world to their crushing debut album ‘I Am God Songs’ Black Sheep Wall proceeded to go through some turbulent periods – and as with all super hazardous compounds, the band was on the verge of collapse on more than one occasion.. but we’re happy to report that Black Sheep Wall are not only still standing.. but their form is more brutal than ever before – and with a new album on the verge of being released the group is currently touring the US – the band recently signed to Southern Lord Records, which has been home to such groups as Mayhem,Morbid Angel, Kylesa, and Dillinger Escape Plan and while we’ll be sad to see these mofos leave our nest, we’re proud to have been involved and super excited about their future, which is burning brightly. you can get more info about the new BSW album and their current tour on their Facebook Book page here.

6. THANK YOU.

First and foremost we want to wish you all a belated happy new year! Sorry for the lack of updates of late – we promise to make it up to you by embedding mucho hidden free gifts within this mailer – so get your predator vision ON. We’ve been ridiculously swamped catching-up with orders received over the holidays – as some of you already know, we totally sold out of all our merch in the first few days of our FREE Shipping sale and had to repress everything, which was a bit of a mission with most places being closed for the holidays. Add to it bad weather affecting shipping and it all turned into a massive delay getting stuff out. But we’ve finally caught up and if you haven’t yet received all your merch, you will do any day now! Thanks for your patience and Congrats to those of you who managed to get the Free shipping deal;) Aside from that we’ve been busy talking with a bunch of new bands and working on our plans for 2011. Top of the list and first to announce is Ancients – a new project comprised of members of recently defunct Epic rockers RINOA – the line-up also includes members of the incredible Crydebris and Mehdi Safa of *shels on Vocals. More info on that below. In addition to new signings we’re also unveiling the 2nd of our limited collector’s edition SHELSMUSIC Compilations. So, scroll down.. and let us know if you have any questions! 🙂

Latitudes are still on the hunt for a permanent vocalist too to join the crew, so if you think you have what it takes then hit them up at latitudes@hotmail.co.uk . don’t be shy! ;)here’s a picture taken by the awesome James Milne in Manchester while Latitudes were on tour. The rest of the shoot can be seen on Latitudes Facebook page here.

5. THE ASCENT OF EVEREST EUROPEAN TOUR
Following the hugely successful release of their beautiful 2nd album “From This Vantage” Nashville’s The Ascent Of Everest have been invited to play a slew of Festivals and shows across the US and Europe. The band is currently putting together dates for a European tour – more info will be released as soon as dates have been firmed up. If you live in Europe you can expect to see TAOE near you soon! If you haven’t picked-up a copy of “From This Vantage” do it at http://www.shelsmusic.com and don’t miss out on this. For fans of forward thinking, adventurous, brave and extremely emotional music. We are in love with this band and what they do and so proud to be involved. We hope you’ll jump aboard and join us in supporting brave musicians doing what they love and believe in like The Ascent Of Everest.

6. SHELSMUSIC DIGITAL STORE
Thanks to all of you who have been downloading music directly from us at our digital store located at http://www.shelsmusic.com. This is where we as a label and the bands get the most from your orders. While iTunes and other sites are great at distributing music across the web, we as a label and the bands only get a tiny share of those downloads. So we hope you’ll spread the word and encourage folks to download directly from our site where and when possible.

We’ll also be introducing some sweet deals soon at our store. For example we feel that if folks are willing to buy a Tshirt, hoody or print they should get to download an album of their choice for FREE from our website. Not only is it a nice treat – but it’ll help us get spread some of this awesome music that we believe in so much.

7. THANK YOU
In closing we’d just like to say that we are BLESSED to be able to do what we do. Thanks to all of YOU. We might be a small label working in a super challenging industry – but if you think independent labels have it tough, just consider what it takes to be in an unsigned band or a band on a small label. We’re extremely honored to be involved with bands like Latitudes, Admiral Angry, Ef, The Ascent of Everest and all the rest of the bands on Shelsmusic. All of whom share similar stories of perseverance and juggling day jobs with trying to save up enough to go on tour or record and release their music. It takes a lot of guts to do what they do and we hope you’ll jump on the starship Shelsmusico and help us support these talented folks by spreading the word – buying a Tshirt or picking up a copy of the album – in return we’ll do all we can to make sure you’re happy and proud of your order by putting love into the artwork, and the work whether it’s recording, printing or whatever. We want every order, every release, every print to be a timeless collectable you can be proud of. So, if even the most you can do is post a comment on one of the band’s Facebook pages or an email – then do it – things like that can be so encouraging and fuel for a band to keep BRINGING IT in the face of whatever difficulty. Thank YOU all for being a part of this. We’d also like to say that there are thankfully A LOT of good people out there doing shit the right way –  helping bands, labels like us and helping good music be heard. Magazines like Rock Sound, Terrorizer many labels, promoters, venues, photographers and fans who get involved, give up their time, energy and help. We’re proud to know you and work with you on a daily basis.So, here’s to an incredible 2011 for us all. Now check out http://www.shelsmusic.com, complete your shelsmusic collection and bang your heads! :)mucho love, thanks and respect!

Our Final Release…

1. OUR FINAL RELEASE OF THE YEAR: PRETEND

2. DELAYED ORDERS

3. FREE SHIT

sorry for lack of updates, but it’s been MENTAL up-in-here…

finally all done relocating to our new hideout in the mountains

and it’s been way more craziness than originally expected.

but it’s all good, we’ve finally settled-in and now catching up like crazy mofos.

and it hasn’t all been work, work work…

in between packing-loading-unloading-shootin watermelons with shotguns and unpacking

we’ve been banging-our-heads to new music from around the world,

hunting rattle snakes, learning some Jiu Jitsu (gazoontite) annnd

negotiating new territorial agreements with Raccoons all while

bringing you new releases by Ef, The Ascent of Everest, Admiral

Angry and Brother/Ghost. And if you haven’t ordered your copy

yet, click on the banner below and do it! 🙂

1. OUR FINAL RELEASE OF THE YEAR: PRETEND

so, while 2010 has been pretty damn action packed and full of goodness so

far… we’ve realized that if we continue like this, we’ll never tear ourselves

away from inboxes and pantone books long enough to finish the never

ending story that has become the new *shels album 😉

SO, we’ve come to a decision.. *jn jn jnnnnnnnnnn

we’re gonna make 1one final release this year and then focus on 0nothing

but the new *shels record, until it’s *all done.

I know what ya’ll are thinkin… enough about *shels already and tell us

about this final release!!

well alrighty then.

The band is Pretend, and they’re from LA… and we’ve been inlove with

their noises for over a year now..

Think Smashing Pumpkins, if Jimmy Chamberlin had more freedom… WAY more freedom…

add to that way fewer vocals and more complex passages that

sprawl out around Jazz drums… with twinkly, melancholic guitars that

weave in and out, and delicately give shape to songs that seem like they

never stop unravelling… it makes for some awesome driving around music 🙂

So, there you have it. Shelsmusic is extremely proud to unveil the debut album by Pretend titled

“Bones In The Oil, Rust In The Soil” and In the

next few days we’ll send you more info about them along with an official

release date for the album, which will be in July.

More info and some music at: http://www.pre-end.com

2. DELAYED ORDERS

Due to all kind of crazy sheet and delays with the production,

we’ve had some major hold-ups with the new Admiral Angry Vinyl and CDs

– if you’ve been waiting patiently..  thank you! it won’t be long now before
