About Me


The Shy Lads story takes its beginning in 2003 when the Hollström brothers decided to do something creative from their musical gift of their old blues father. They started to play some Beatles, Stones and Oasis covers with various friends in the backyard. It didnt take long before they started to write and record their own material. A five piece group was later formed in the summer of 2005. The group have recorded two EPs, toured Germany and played in front of many youngsters in southern Sweden. Songwriter and lead vocalist Dennis wants to write hit songs with warmth, passion and meaning. With each members personal touch you get the sound of The Shy Lads.
Written about The Shy Lads:
”Snacka om att få en hästspark mitt i bröstet! Inledande Now är inget mer än en total fullträff.” (www.joyzine.se)
En låt som "Now" kan man inte annat än att ta till sig ganska omgående…
The Shy Lads är unga och jävligt hungriga, det märks. Det sjungs om den farliga musikindustrin och sorgliga betraktelser om bekanta. Musiken känns på många sätt obefläckad av rådande trender. (www.musklandet.se)
Svensk rock/pop med hjärtat på rätt ställe. (www.musiklandet.se)
Patrik Forshage letar varje månad rätt på det bästa på CDON:s demosite. Så här skriver han om Mr Policeman: "Kackerlacke-garagerock, omöjlig att utrota och ettrig som fan." (Nöjesguiden, Malmö)
Interview and live performance at Hasenschaukel, Hamburg:
“The gig was much better than both of us imagined. Although the acoustic played songs are quite different from the demos that we knew, The Shy Lads were able to enthral their audience and created an atmosphere which gave goose bumps. The fact that every one of those four boys knew their instruments and played incredibly well promised a great night…”
“Who has the slightest chance to watch The Shy Lads should go. The demos are good, but the guys live are brilliant and will convince everyone. “
