"Like the soundtrack to a crime scene, [The Sha-Pels] will make the hair on
the back of your neck stand straight up the whole while you're bobbing your
head up and down to its jazzy ham-fisted beat. It shakes you from your
day-to-day
zombiefied state only to place you in a totally new zombiefied state."
-J.R. Oliver
Ear Candy Magazine
"Pulsating and slightly sexy, the music followed a nice soft-loud aesthetic
that held the audience's attention for the duration of the show. A hammer-style
rhythm section supported a wandering progressive guitar that shared the front
with a twisting saxophone... the band is a challenge to describe as they
sound a lot like everything for a few seconds at a time..."
-Thomas Martin
Enigma Magazine
"The Sha-Pels are the best thing that have happened musically in this town
for some time."
-Max Gerskin
Pulse Magazine
The Sha-Pels have been described as "unique" and "evocative," incorporating
elements of psychedelic rock, jazz, surf, metal, and experimental genres of
music into their own constantly evolving sound. Simultaneously primal and
sophisticated, the songs The Sha-Pels create are a fresh hybrid of rock purity
and
prog complexity, appealing to many fans of varying genres. Since their inception
two years ago, The Sha-Pels have been steadily finding their audience, being
voted "Best New Act" by the Chattanooga Independent Artists, and landing a
slot on the largest local festival in Chattanooga, the Riverbend Festival. Given
the creative and prolific nature of the band, it's likely just the beginning
of what's already shaping up to be an interesting and distinctive musical
journey.
