We are so excited to announce Shy Boy‘s Polyvinyl debut, Bell House! Shy Boys – DIY local champions of Kansas City, MO, who if you add it all up, are something sacred. Comprised of brothers Collin and Kyle Rausch and best friends Konnor Ervin, Kyle Little and Ross Brown, The album’s title is taken from the band’s beloved headquarters – the old house on Bell Street in Kansas City where they lived together for the better part of 5 years.
Hailed as “The Beach Boys on Robitussin”, Shy Boys were bred in the dankest basements of Kansas City, MO as a group of ill-fitting squares in a scene of punks and weirdos. We find these great friends now, still living & loving in KC, trading instruments while creating melodic, happy-sad tunes to make your heart swell.
“Shy Boys are the heartland’s answer to The Beach Boys had Alex Chilton been on guitar.” – Kevin Morby
You can watch the lyric video for their first song “Take the Doggie” – a song that Pitchfork raves “…will warm your cold heart.”
“Take the Doggie” is taken from Shy Boy’s new album, Bell House, out August 3rd, 2018.
