The band recently shared the single “Going Sideways” on Ground Sounds. Check it out here: http://groundsounds.com/2016/02/18/canadian-folk-rock-band-shred-kelly-premiere-going-sideways/
According to Exclaim Magazine, “Sing to the Night is a huge step forward for this young group.” Tim Newton, Sage McBride, Jordan Vlasschaert, Ian Page-Shiner, and Ty West have amplified the traditional sound of folk music with a more contemporary approach. Their reputation as a captivating live band has earned Shred Kelly sold-out shows across Canada and performances at some of the Canada’s premier festivals.
Sing To The Nightfeatures their signature claw-hammer banjo riffs, layered ambient synth, powerhouse rock, and lush vocal harmonies. Newton explains that the album’s title track “Sing to the Nightcame from a combination of late night songwriting and group jams. I’d often find myself at 3:30 a.m. singing to the walls of our garage rehearsal space.”
According to McBride, Shred Kelly differ from other folk or folk rock bands because “we play at such a fast tempo and play around with instruments typically outside of the folk genre. Playing a synth and a banjo together sounds ludicrous to most folkies, and playing a banjo in a rock band sounds ludicrous to most headbangers. It has, however, worked very well for us.”
