Formed in 2011, over the years Shellshock Lullaby have become a staple in the Montana rock scene with their own brand of alternative rock and magnetic live performances. The trio features Russell Nelson on vocals and guitar, Hannah Skiles on bass and vocals and Andrew Ellmaker on drums.
Together, these three longtime friends bring a combined 60 years of musical expertise to the table, creating an act that’s won over audiences both locally and across the western USA. Their impressive track record includes performances at festivals like Warped Tour and Oregon Country Fair, as well as opening for legendary acts such as Black Flag and .38 Special.
Shellshock Lullaby’s first major release as a trio, the 2018 EP Static Noise, produced definitive fan favourites like “Without Serendipity” and the title track “Static Noise,” establishing the band as a noteworthy outfit in the alternative rock genre. This year, they continued to build on their momentum with the release of their latest record, Blue, followed by their brand new single, “Garffeeld!”
“Garffeeld!” is an epic pop punk anthem that revolves around themes of lost connection, wrapped in an infectious emo rock-tinged package. The track explores the nostalgic yearning for someone you used to be close to, who has an unusual affinity for Garfield memes. This unique premise sets up a song that blends catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics and energetic instrumentation, creating a fun and infectious song that’s sure to strike a chord with existing fans and new listeners alike.
Brought in by the lively flutter of synth lines as the echo of drums ushers in the full band sound, the song takes flight with crunching guitars before dipping down to a delicate verse where soft melodies float over clean guitar notes and laid back drums. Building the energy up, the crunch of guitars and energetic drums launch an instantly memorable chorus that balances a flurry of intricate instrumentation and smooth vocals.
Full of memorable moments, moody shifts and exquisite musicianship, “Garffeeld!” showcases Shellshock Lullaby’s playful songwriting and performance flair. As they continue to deliver their completely unique sound to a growing fanbase of listeners around the world, Shellshock Lullaby are sure to keep going from strength to strength throughout this year and beyond.
