Shelter is an American Hare Krishna hardcore punk band formed by Youth of Today vocalist Ray Cappo in 1991.[1] Because of the religious Hindu-oriented messages in its lyrics, Shelter's subgenre has been dubbed by some as krishnacore.[2][3]

Recent history

In 2001, Shelter released the album The Purpose, The Passion. In 2002, with a new drummer and a new guitarist, the band toured Europe and the eastern United States in support of the record, before going on extended hiatus.[4]

In 2005, vocalist Ray Cappo recorded an album titled Eternal, with ten new songs and a remake of the track "In Defense of Reality". The album was released in May 2006 by Good Life Recordings. Cappo also did a European tour with a few Dutch hardcore musicians functioning as his touring band.[5]

Shelter played two reunion shows in 2011: Göteborg, Sweden, on June 16, and Reading, Pennsylvania, on June 26.

The band reunited again for a US tour and a European festival date, with Sammy Siegler on drums, in 2018. Opening acts included Dave Smalley's Don't Sleep on the East Coast and Washington, D.C.-based hardcore band GIVE in the west.[6][7]
