About Me

Ever since hearing the siren call... Michael Shelton has leapt into action! Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama.. Michael Shelton called on The Effect to help fight crime and bring a new dawn to the dark times of The Great Speaker Plague.Forced into semi-retirement by the allure of Big Cinema.. Michael Shelton is now back with a vengeance, perched on the edge of the fantastic.With unforgettable vocals and insanely catchy hooks..his songs command your attention immediately. His garage rock guitar sound is gleefully dirty as well. Influenced by a wide musical spectrum, his songwriting style varies from Pop Rock to Folk and Punk Rock to even the self-loathing ballad. Coming from such bands as Happy Couple, Toulouse Mood and High School Sweetheart, the Effect has become the right choice of action for Michael Shelton.Michael Shelton and The Effect pledges to rock. and for those about to rock with them..they salute thee.
