The Shys' brash update of '60s British Invasion and garage rock and '70s punk had its roots in San Clemente, CA, where songwriter/vocalist/guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:2zlvF7Vp4w7Kwh3dfzcNKh" data-name="Kyle Krone">Kyle Krone</a> and keyboardist/harmonica player Alex Kweskin grew up as childhood friends. Kweskin learned to play piano and drums while still in grade school, and though the duo had aspirations of being in a band early on, they didn't really take shape until they befriended bassist Chris Wulff, a newcomer to town who taught Krone to play guitar. As a trio with Kweskin on drums, the band honed their sound throughout their high school years. After graduation, the band continued practicing and playing live, even when Wulff left the band temporarily for a six-month stay in Spain. After dozens of explosive sold out shows in the Los Angeles area the group signed to Sire records. The band has toured and shared the stage with many of indie rocks most celebrated acts and appeared at multiple festivals throughout 2006-2010. The bands debut album Produced by Grammy Award Winning Producer Dave Cobb is now considered a modern cult classic. Songs from their debut "Astoria", which was released in summer 2006 have been featured in countless Films, TV Shows and Commercials. Most recently the album's lead single, "Call in the Cavalry," has been featured on Amazon's Reacher (The Number 1 show in the USA right now).
