*shels was created on 2003 on England by singer/songwriter Mehdi Safa and drummer Tom Harriman, former Mahumodo members. They've released their albums under the shelsmusic label, which was created by Safa and features other interesting acts from the post metal and post rock british scene. They've also made up a partnership with Undergroove for their two full-length albums. They've been described as a super ground since most of their members also played on different bands, including Safa and Harriman themselves as stated above.
