Each week, Mailo highlights an artist worthy of Enter The Shell’s Artist of the Week! Plus, once a month, Mailo crowns a Legend of the Month!
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 …
A few years ago my brother told me to check out this band that he’d been digging for a little while. Given my usual distrust in my brother’s recommendations on anything in the media, I shrugged it off and said I’d check it out later and didn’t really think of it. It was shortly thereafter …
This week’s artist (as guessed correctly in-studio by Gary Vail of Ultramunx; congratulations!) is none other than the 20 year veterans of skatepunk, Rancid. Currently on tour (but not for long) and in Los Angeles, this band hasn’t given up the fight for fast-paced, fun music. Today we bring you the noise and find out …
This week we have a band, started in 2004, that has since been quickly rising in the indie charts and gaining popularity worldwide. You might catch a glimpse of these up and coming sensations with their passion-filled tunes and great live performances along with the likes of bands like Broken Social Scene, Explosions in the …
Here at Enter the Shell the end of August can mean two things: Back to school, and the EtS birthday. We’re not too concerned about the school part, though enrollment in the EtS School of Cool is at an all time high. So for our third birthday, it’s time to rock out with our (insert …
Growing up in the 90’s I had the benefit of getting several different musical styles thrown at me. Whether it was going to get a hair cut and listening to oldies and classic rock (not that the two were mutually exclusive, but it always seemed to be on), or hanging out with my schoolyard chums …
