Shelter is a Hare Krishna Hardcore punk band formed by Ray Cappo.[1] Because of the Hare Krishna and Hindu-oriented messages in its lyrics, Shelter's genre is often dubbed krishnacore.[2][3]

Brief recent history

In 2001, the band 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 again in support of The Purpose, The Passion before going on extended hiatus.[4]

In 2005, Ray Cappo recorded a new 11-track album entitled Eternal with 10 new songs and a re-make of "In Defense of Reality." Eternal was released in May 2006 by Good Life Recordings. Ray also did a European tour with a few members of Dutch hardcore bands functioning as the band.[5]

Shelter played 2 "Reunion" shows in 2011: Göteborg, Sweden on 16 June and Reading, PA on Sunday, 26 June.

The line-up for the Reunion shows were:

  • Vox – Ray Cappo
  • Guitar – Porcell
  • Guitar – Daniel Larsson
  • Bass – Tim Brooks
  • Drums – Vinny Panza

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 DC based hardcore band GIVE in the West.[6][7]
