Los Angeles-based rock band the Shelters seem posed to make a mark on the music scene.
Sebastian Harris, Josh Jove, Jacob Pillot, and Chase Simpson formed the band in 2014 and lucked out when Tom Petty caught one of their performances. So impressed by the group, Petty invited the band to record in his home studio, featured Jove and Simpson on the Heartbreakers’ Hypnotic Eye and even co-produced their upcoming full-length, self-titled album (due out June 10.)
Lead single “Rebel Heart” is a foot-tapping, guitar-driven tune and is a perfect introduction to this up-and-coming band, and its new music video — directed by Stash Silonski and Petty’s daughter Adria Petty—portrays the band with all of its swagger in a live environment.
“In the video for ‘Rebel Heart,’ we wanted to highlight the rock and roll energy we feed off of in our live show,” said Jove. “With the lights, the heat, the girls and the beat, we hope the video offers a surreal glimpse into that world.”
