"[Shelby has] the power and grace of its namesake iconic sixties muscle-car designer" - The New Yorker

"Shelby manages to take the best parts....of My Bloody Valentine's noises, which is something any fan of music should appreciate...I have not seen a young band that luscious sounding and so together in a long time" - The Tripwire

"[Shelby is] a guitar-pop band with a dash of U2." - Time Out New York

"Shelby create melodic indie rock that is not afraid to bite you in the face." - Deli Magazine Feature

"New York-based indie rock trio make their UK debut, drawing on influences as varied as The Who, My Bloody Valentine and the Psychedelic Furs." -Time Out London

"Just how a group of musicians collectively so damn good escaped my greedy little ears 'til this show is still beyond me...let me expound on how Shelby has EVERYTHING that one could possibly want and didn't even know they wanted in a band." - Jenyk.com

"Unsolicited discs tend to go in one hand and right out the other, but Shelby's... unexpectedly stayed in my grip." - Billboard Magazine

"...ambitious new songs from its forthcoming guitar and violin fueled record." - New Yorker

"Shelby has a timeless sound like those bands that used to envelope you in a duvet of sound, bands like The Wedding Present and My Bloody Valentine." - Claire Sturgess, XFM London

"I figure Shelby's picture-perfect indie sound will get them killed. After all, when someone does something this well, they're obviously faking it ... It's loud, it's urgent, and more to the point, it sounds the way music should sound--which is not to say "indie," whatever that really means...Faking it? Nah. Just doing it the right way." - IndieCrit

"...a lot like the sleek 60s muscle car the band must have been named after, solidly made, proficient with a V8 beneath the hood--in short, built for speed."- Brooklyn Rail
