Swirling sonic whirlpools. Cascading sheets of hallucinogenic dissonance: the seemingly chaotic disarray giving way to melodic shards bobbing on the surface of the garage rock ocean that is The Shrills' spiritual home...or something like that...only better...cuz The Shrills are not a description of The Shrills: they're THE SHRILLS for fuck's sake.

Hailing from the state of mind that is Portland, OR, they live together in communal bliss behind the ivy covered walls of the legendary Gladstone Manor. Within the bowels of the manor the air is thick with the scent of exotic spice and the sounds of the future/past: NOW.
***************************************************************************
What began as four fine young men earnestly pursuing the joys of straight-ahead garage rock bliss has turned into a beast of a different and altogether more far-out stripe. The line up has expanded, the sound has expanded, the mind has expanded, the lotus is open...you get the idea.
