About Shellac

Shellac is an influential American rock band formed in 1992, known for their minimalist sound and intense live performances. The band consists of Steve Albini, Bob Weston, and Todd Trainer, each bringing their unique musical prowess to the project. Albini, a renowned record producer, adds a raw, unfiltered edge to their music, distinguishing Shellac in the post-hardcore scene.

Shellac's lyrics often delve into themes of pride in laborious work and overcoming life's adversities, reflecting a gritty, no-nonsense perspective. Their songs boldly declare their stance on various subjects, including the paradox of authority and the irony in leadership, often delivered with a sharp, biting wit that challenges listeners to think critically about societal norms.
