Love, love, love. The Shackeltons seem to cover the subject quite a lot. However, you shouldn’t expect applesauce-mushy songs about walks in the park and calling a loved one nothing but “baby.” Instead, their tales seem to emphatically suggest that love is about struggle. It is often lost and always with a distinct sense of vulnerability. Coming from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, the cold that surrounds them seems to creep across all obstacles and into the music itself. Through their music, The Shackeltons represent love not as some fairy tale existence, but rather, as a real, truly human experience. No matter which emotion they happen to be shedding light on at the time, their imagery is devastatingly beautiful: “…your eyes are my getaway ship. I could sail a thousand shores between your eyes and your lips.” This is definitely not a band to miss out on.
