Not only are Southern California..'s Shys better-looking than most -- frontman Kyle Krone is like a prettier Conor Oberst -- but they tear up the stage with their fuzzed-up super-rock like the Who in the early days. -ROLLING STONE
The Shys consistently and confidently churn through weighty layers of fuzz as if they want listeners to hear them sweat.SPIN
These loveable rouges aren..'t quite the wallflowers their moniker might admit. Their hybrid blend of classic American and British rock & roll. Equal chucks of Stooges & Stones: Stone Roses, and Sly and The Family... fight for melodic democracy and soulful sensibility-FILTER MAGAZINE
The Shys mix radio-ready anthemic rock with nods to the stooges on their brit-rock/punk pop debut. Frontman Kyle Krone..'s voice is growly and messianic enough to lead teenagers into their rebellious years. URB MAGAZINE
The Shys take a tried formula mainly used by British groups of the sixties and seventies (Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Beatles, The Clash) and turn it into something visceral, all their own.-FLAUNT MAGAZINE
Guitarist and singer Kyle Krones vocals are enduringly smashing. The guitar work is bluesy and smooth, fitting well with the evocative lyrics which are impeccable. There is a clever and perpetual quality to lyrics and all instruments are eloquently placed -LITTLE RADIO
The California garage rockers have all the elements in place to become the left coast Strokes, or, on .."Call in the Cavalry,.." even America..'s answer to the Arctic Monkeys. But The Shys have a deeper musical heritage to draw on than their 21st-century bedhead brethren- CD UNIVERSE
The music has heart and soul and what the band does with that heart and soul is it dances with it and allows it to heat its way into the microphone, wheel out of the amps and surge through the speakers with the kind of body of thunderstorm that makes a night into a dangerous mystery, but a wonder as well. It burns and it lights into the kinds of songs that make a person more appreciative of the feel that one gets from getting out of bed and re-establishing the direction that you might have discovered and put to rest before hitting the hay the night before. It’s about finding that driving passion and falling in love with lots of things and maybe one good person that is going to last and try for the same things.The Shys linger through and over all of it, giving a bunch of howling and biting memos that shouldn’t be ignored. -DAYTROTTER
The Shys have taken the crunchy guitars and heavy, fuzz-filled solos, and added more traditionally poppy group choruses and catchy melodies to come out with gritty rock that is immediately accessible.-NPR
Gigantic, barroom rock ..'n..' roll sound, somewhere between the Who and the Hold Steady, Bruce Springsteen and the Strokes. Dudes have definitely done their homework-UR CHICAGO
You..'ll Never Understand The Band The Way That I Do has a little bit of everything; the classic foundations are there, supported by an awesome new indie sound.- XM RADIO
I was inspired by this and so I thought I would share it;
"Affirm to others the vision of the world you want. You are a free, immensely powerful source of life and goodness. Affirm it. Spread it. Radiate it. Think day and night about it and you will see a miracle happen: the greatness of our own life."~Robert Muller
I hope everything is cool there and your world ROCKS! Karen :)
