Shelter With Thieves

A Dark Chapter in The Human Experiment

About Me

Shelter with ThievesFour white males described as veteran musicians of the “Halifax Music Scene” have been reported breaking sound bi-laws across North America. The disturbances have been reported in major cities including, Toronto, Ontario, Austin, Texas, Los Angeles California, New York, New York, and of course, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The four tattooed males are known currently by their group name Shelter with Thieves. The bands high energy aggressive rock sound is unmistakable and usually performed at high volumes with large gatherings of followers, late in the PM to early in the AM. The band’s founding members Mike Johnson, Matt Johnson, Squid Mullett, and Lloyd Smith have been funding their operation with the “Off-stage” and “On-line” sale of studio recordings. The most recent of these recordings is known on the streets as “A Dark Chapter in the Human Experiment”. Thought to have been produced by the band itself at Common ground studio in Halifax and released to the streets in November 2007 using their own label “…I thought you were dead!”. Shelter with Thieves have successfully been distributing what has been called, “an eclectic and cryptic mix of alternative, punk, rock, with smart, catchy melodies, and enough guitar to make you question your own existence.” and, “a sweaty stomping beast of a record.” High quantities of “A Dark Chapter in the Human Experiment” have been confiscated by officials and have been made available to the public through CDbaby.com and the official band website www.shelterwiththieves.com. By now Shelter with Thieves has amassed a following creating pandemonium and unrest in every city they perform. More public awareness is this offices primary mandate. For more information regarding this matter please contact your local Shelter with Thieves Social club or the band’s official website.“Play loud, play late, play often”- SWT
