"When you think of music and Australia you usually think of AC/DC right? Most people do, I know I do. Well from here on out I?m declaring that when you think of music and Australia you think of not only AC/DC but also Shellfin. In fact, forget AC/DC all together. As their careers start to wind down, Shellfin is poised to takeover.

Shellfin released their first full length album, Secondhand Family, on September 1st. It?s a followup to a very good EP called Stay for Tea. Their sound can be described as a mix between Dozer, and Kyuss. Their music is not only stoner rock but also has hints of doom giving it a nice down tempo sound.

Right out of the gate the album comes hitting you like a shit ton of bricks with the song ?The Extent of It.? It?s a very Kyuss sounding song. ?Cruzzin? mixes the Dozer and Kyuss elements. ?Short Spew? is a short and fast tune. ?Hedgehog? has some pretty damn cool instrumentals in the middle and leads right into the next track ?Fleischgeist.? The whole album comes to a close with the track ?The Interveining Time? which is a bit slower paced than the rest of the album. It does have some faster moments. If you?re patient enough to sit through some silence, there is a hidden song at the end of. I?ll leave it up to you to search through the band?s Youtube videos for the name. Your homework perhaps.

Secondhand Family is a great sounding album. It has riffs-O-plenty, lots of Kyuss inspired sound and harmonic vocals. The doominess that creeps in every now and then keeps the album fresh and from becoming a bit boring. It has that appealing quality to it that has you listening to the album a lot more than once. You can download Secondhand Family for free on their Bandcamp site as well as their EP Stay for Tea. You can of course donate some of your local currency to the band and dish out for your own physical copy."

Review from www.loudmag.com.au (90%)

http://www.loudmag.com.au/content/shellfin-second-hand-family

" As the album progresses it becomes a series of jams-within-jams as the various members break into extended improvs that turn around on a timely fill from drummer Geeks back to the main riff or go in another direction altogether....Like they say in their promo material, this is not about smoking weed but being immersed and entranced by heavy grooves, and the deeper you go, the more immersed and entranced you become. Some albums this long begin to feel like an ordeal just over halfway through, but Second Hand Family never loses its grip for the entire trip."
