Shellshag unveils SXSW video footage and announces full-blown tour of the USA!


Shellshag, with the exception of the show in NYC last weekend, has been holing up and working on their next record. Tentatively titled the Fuck Society Sessions the album will be a covers record featuring songs from Liz Phair, Shotwell, The Undertones, Joy Division, Hickey, Archers of Loaf, Lemonheads, Descendents, Wipers, Pork, AK77's and The Jam. Needless to say, we're excited!

The band is heading out on tour next month and they'll bring their enthusiastic, love-strewn, punk odes to towns and festivals all over our great nation. Live, they set up face-to-face and play their hearts out to one another with sets often ending in all out drum destruction... To meet these two, well, it has been life-changing for more than few folks. Their spirit and dedication to their music, one another and their friends is nothing short of inspirational.

Click here to see video footage of them performing "Body Of The Bird/Little Birdy" at SXSW and you'll get a glimpse of how stellar they are live!
