"Like a shot of whiskey, Shells soothes the soul with newfound nostalgia. Their sound has evolved from earnest folk picking to over-driven rock n’ roll that lends itself to classic blues and country with a clever indie-rock slant. Shells was conceived in the summer of 2009 when singer/songwriter Ryan Lentell recruited friends Mike Caviness (bass) and Cole Weldon (drums) to flesh out some of his songs for a solo show. This collaboration sparked innovation — the trio made this their full-time project. Shells relax into their sound on stage while emitting a buzz across the crowd. Lentell begins with a somber croon that is enveloped by his signature wail enhanced by Weldon and Caviness’ rhythm and blues. His musings contain a dry wit reminiscent of Elvis Costello juxtaposed with a sincerity that can be credited to the musicians. Their raw energy is noticeably drawn from their Texas roots — rock n’ roll and the groove of ‘60s Motown and R&B groups while maintaining a level of pop accessibility."- Amber Genuske (Daily Texan Associate Editor )
