About Me

..
- -

Formed by brothers Tom and Olly Yates, and completed via Dickon Collinson, Rob D'Ath and Jimmy Ryder, The Shills combine the subtlety and poetry of The Smiths, with the vitriolic passion of the Manics, and remain undeterred in their desire to be catapulted out of their emasculating surroundings .
Starting with gigs around Cambridge, they subsequently recorded The Flightpath Sessions, which led to BBC radio play and gigs with The 5 o’clock Heroes (currently recording with Agyness Dean), Babyshambles support act The Skuzzies, Ten City Nation, Kingsize, Leeds’ rising Kid Id and major label darlings Johnny Panic.
After headlining a regional showcase to Columbia, they travelled to the south coast to record their one take live debut single ‘Raison D’etre’ with R*E*P*E*A*T Records.
This hugely ambitious and exhilarating outfit now intend to tour the UK in order to find a bigger stage on which to momentarily vent their collective frustrations and briefly experience an otherwise forgotten sense of purpose.
