Free At Last

Friends,

There is reason to celebrate. The holiday brought good fortune to The Shys. As of last Monday we are no longer signed with a record label. Some of you may be asking yourself why this is such good news. For months we had tried sometimes desperately to convince the powers that be to release a new record for you to hear. One failed attempt after another the label refused to put out any new material. This left us frustrated and also gave us time to reflect on what values we hold most dear. Naturally we decided the best thing for our music and fans was to break free from the record company and if need be release new music ourselves.

Creating the best music we can and making it available to our fans has always been our number one priority in this group and now we are free to do just that. This means more new music more often for us to share with you. We have taken all matters into our own hands thus obtaining 100% creative control. We have built our own recording studio and are currently in the process of recording new music. The plan is to wrap up the recording by the end of the year and have the record available to everyone as soon as possible, followed by tours of North America and the UK. Along with the record we have the freedom to release new videos, merch and other knick knacks straight from the band to you. Thank you all so much for your continued support and love. Because of you we can continue to make records and play our music as far as it takes us.

Always grateful

Kyle, Alex, Chris, Riley, & Tony
