The Shys’ new album is titled Youll Never Understand This Band The Way That I Do. It alludes to the passion and unique connection that you have when you discover a band that has meaning for you. You build up your own interpretations of the band and its songs, looking for clues and meanings that bridge the gap between an artistic work and your own life.

The title also no doubt references the bands own severance from Sire, the label that released its first record. Signing to a smaller label and taking complete control over its career, the band has released a sophomore record that is laden with passion and almost cinematic in tone and approach. Whereas their first album, Astoria, had some obvious nods to British rock, this one is thoroughly American, a bluesy, soul-infused romp that wears its heart on its sleeve.

The record features absolutely huge choruses and hooks. The band is blessed with a very fine vocalists lead singer Kyle Krone amazes with his passionate delivery. Definitely one of the finest releases this year.

The energy and skill of the band was impressive as they tore through the songs. It was also obvious, after talking with them, that they are excited about charting their own course. Going back to the title of the new record again, this is a band whose passionate delivery will no doubt generate just as many passionate fans.
