We've been hesitant to really post anything about The Shys since their residency at Moscow late last year. They needed lots of work but I had faith the kids at Leftwing and Sire would fix things. Caught them last night at the Troob and what a difference a few months make. Such a difference that apparently Rolling Stone was all up in their biznass after their SXSW showcase so I guess it's time to jot down a few notes. We didn't like their original demo. It got reworked and the new album (Astoria, due 6/6 on Sire) is actually kinda good. They sound like a lot of bands that you probably have illegal mp3s of so you'll probably want to scan for blogs posting tracks like "Never Gonna Die", "Easy On The Eyes", "Call In the Calvary", and "Madly in Action". NGD is probably the best song on the album although Calvary will probably get the most action. It's a toss-up...
