Post Modern Romantic
Tallying 10 albums in 17 years, first with his band Spinning Jennies and more recently with acclaimed power-pop champs the Well Wishers, singer, guitarist and chief musical architect Jeff Shelton has racked up an impressive track record. Post Modern Romantic is his most formidable effort to date, a non-stop barrage of power chords, relentless riffing and hard-crunching melodies. The album finds Shelton commanding all the instruments except drums, which come courtesy of his Spinning Jennies colleague Nick Laquintano. That is clearly all the musical muscle that’s needed, because on songs such as “Run Away,” “Hanging On” and “All for Nothing” the Well Wishers stir up a thoroughly likable ruckus.
