This month while most of us here in the U.S. are celebrating a four-day weekend for Thanksgiving, there are plenty of people around the world who aren’t lucky enough for the time off, or who just need their weekly dose of something to read/listen to. Well, we here at Enter the Shell are happy to …
With the holiday of Thanksgiving on the horizon I often get in the mood for some good folk music. I don’t know if the connection is due to a sense of community with the family around this time that makes me thing folk is related to that, or if it’s the changing of the weather …
It seems as though things are starting to swing over here at Enter the Shell. With Turrtle’s big band recording recently released and flu season in the midst, we’ve caught the swingin’ bug and we like it. So to keep with the sensation, this week we bring you Christabel and the Jons, an artist well-versed …
Your clues for this week may have been brief and limited, but within the clues was one very important thing…the answer! This week, as mentioned in the show’s clues, was the celebration of Sandwich Day. Well, it just so happens that our artist this week, a hip, garage-rock, girl band from the bay area, is …

Too often is the case that we are introduced to new and exciting bands that are on the path to musical success to have them taken away from us without any warning or explanation. This week we have another Austin-based band that was doing well and just dropped off the face of the Earth. What …
Rolling along here in the month of October and sticking with our Halloween(ish) theme, this week’s artist’s music had a heavy influence of film noir and westerns inlaid within their sound and lyrics. An excellent addition to the New Wave period, but often going unnoticed in their creativity and talent, this week we take on …
Now that we’re truly in the month of October (and not just the extended schedule that I coerced Turrtle into letting me write) we’re getting more and more into Halloween-related music.
Beginning our extended month of October, we have a fairly new band that has seemingly disappeared.  Despite their claims of being on hiatus, no new material and a lack of touring tells me that it’s the end for our Austin based band (though I certainly hope not).  This week we remember Built by Snow (and …
This month’s legend released their eighth full-length album (seventh studio) after a 12 year break from new material, and if I may say so myself, thank goodness for it! Bass driven band Primus have returned with more of their humorous, difficult to label music, and that (along with their years of service providing the world …
