"The SoHo Journal had the pleasure to attend The Shells album release party, and we were blown away.The fierce female trio who define themselves as "cosmo country" won an MTV nomination forthe Best Breakout Artists in New York City a nod that is well deserved." — SoHo Journal Staff, The SoHo Journal


"The Shells, Melanie, Jessi, and Carrie...harmonize beautifully with one another & they sound great with their kick ass band. These girls write their own songs & that gets our respect any day of the week. We like so many of their songs, it’s hard to choose a favorite." — Grits & Whiske
