Ending our fine April we have one last Coachella attendee. While our punk month has come and gone, we’ve got one more punk artist who should have definitely made the grade. Having played with the best and recorded some of the most underrated, yet extremely energetic punk since its invention, our artist proves to be …

Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Social Distortion
Bringing March to a close, this week we bring you not only a band that has been playing for nearly 35 years, spanning several different varieties of the punk genre, but an artist that has occupied a good portion of this blogger’s formative years. A Southern California native that puts heart and soul into every …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Elvis Costello
February has come to a close and with it our unofficial theme is ending as well. While the rest of the month we have been highlighting power-pop artists, our legend this month, while not a power-pop artist definitively, I regard with having aided the genre by setting the bar of intellectual lyrics with the self-aware …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Birdmonster
The Jan “NEW” ary theme is one that is both fun to work with, but with its drawbacks. Example: finding new bands for the regular week isn’t so tough, but when it comes to finding a legend to stick into the final slot, well, it’s not so easy. How do you determine a band is …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-R.E.M.
The end of the year is here and with that comes our final artist of the week for the year. As mentioned in the clues during the show, our artist has mirrored our year in that they too are coming to a close. After 30 years as a band making hit records, paving the way …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Kirsty MacColl
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 …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Warren Zevon
This week we celebrate a legend that is truly deserving of the title. Ending our October theme (though I thought of extending it due to Halloween/Dia de los Muertos/All Saints Day being next week) we have an artist that died too young and whose talents are not recognized as well as they should be in …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Primus
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 …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Red Hot Chili Peppers
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 …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Get ready for our nation’s independence (USA if you’re a foreign reader) this week by getting your dose of the artist of the week.  This fourth of July, turn up the volume to some Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Our legend this month is one of the most influential American musicians of all …
