Shelter - Mantra

My favorite record from my favorite band.  I don't apologize if you don't agree. 

Ray Cappo  formed Shelter after Youth of Today started to dissolve in 1990. Influenced by vegetarianism, positivity, and the Bhagavad Gita, Shelter started a whole new movement in hardcore called "Krishna-core."   Around the same time Shelter formed, Ray Cappo also created Equal Vision Records.

Some other records to check out by Shelter are When 20 Summers Pass, Quest for Certainty and In Defense of Reality.

Reigning Sound - Home For Orphans

Someone sent me this on a message board so I thought I'd share. This band was formed in 2001 but they sound like they could be found on a dusty 45 from some long forgotten rock band from Tennessee. They blend pop, classic rock n' roll, country and blues to create an excellent moody sound. Think country-folk songs about love that I am hesitant to compare to Ryan Adams, but it kinda fits. This album came out in 2005 and is a compilation of some alternative versions of songs found on their 2004 "Too Much Guitar."
