Anyone know The Shins??

[TheThorne]

They are seemily one of the biggest College Radio bands in the US and they just dont seem to have any airplay or hype in the UK.

So I thought lets check their albums out both availble on Napster so I can hear them for free hehe and yeh they are damn good.

They sound like a band that has been frozen in ice since 1969 and defrosted in the 21st century bit like Austin Powers i guess hehe

The album I'm listening to now is called 'Oh Inverted World' and the best track so far is 'New Slang'

any fans here why are they not bigger or that known in UK??

Have they toured here, need to raise their profile maybe, I've seen em around in people's charts I think, but not heard anything by them...

[greendemon]

i like them!

"kissing the lipless", "so says i", "know your onion" are all pretty good... especially the first...

So Says I is a good one.

They remind me a bit of the Von Bondies.

[Earl Purple]

They've had two NM #2 hits.

I'm in the UK but from US originally. 'Oh, Inverted World' is quite good. I've also got 'Chutes Too Narrow' but is not as polished. Worth checking out if you like 'Oh, Inverted World' for sure though.
