Shellshag

Destroy Me I'm Yours - http://www.mediafire.com/?eyu8qizcqs2pidv

I first saw Shellshag opening for This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb in an infoshop in Philadelphia. I did not know who they were. But when you start your set by A) looking like the coolest dirtiest old folks imaginable and B) shouting "FUCK SOCIETY! FUCK SOBRIETY! FUCK EVERYBODY!" into a crowd of drunken, 40-wielding punks, you earn attention. Shellshag is just two people, Shell, a long-haired, burnout looking guy who plays guitar, and Shag, a wild looking girl with bells on her belt who plays drums. They play stripped down, slow garage songs about love and anger and a lot of obtuse subjects. The songs are great but seeing them played is something else entirely. When I first saw them Shell knocked out a tooth, then gave a free record to the person who found it. It wasn't even a crazy show. He just had so much fun his tooth had to go dance.

They also build a tower out of their instruments at the end of every set, and sometimes smash things. It's tons of fun. Go see them. Listen to this album. Find their newest album. Give it to me.
