They tear up the stage with their fuzzed-up super-rock like the Who in the early days-ROLLING STONE
The title-track off the Shys' debut captures the ethos of the album. On it, the Shys consistently and confidently churn through weighty layers of fuzz as if they want listeners to hear them sweat. For the band, it's all about making enormous strokes of effort, and the track's lyrics follow suit by depicting a seemingly semi-daft heroine who has much to learn, rent to pay, and a better life to come into- SPIN
These loveable rouges aren't quite the wallflowers their moniker might admit. Their hybrid blend of classic American and British rock & roll. Equal chucks of Stooges & Stones: Stone Roses, and Sly and The Family... fight for melodic democracy and soulful sensibility.FILTER MAGAZINE
The Shys mix radio-ready anthemic rock with nods to the stooges on their brit-rock/punk pop debut. Frontman Kyle Krone's voice is growly and messianic enough to lead teenagers into their rebellious years. URB MAGAZINE
What"Astoria" is, then, is less a full portrait of the band as it is a snapshot of a magical, musical month in the lives of four rockers, the eldest of whom is 22. Revealed are snippets of the Shys' classic influences the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Stooges, the Stone Roses, and Oasis-LA TIMES
The Shys take a tried formula mainly used by British groups of the sixties and seventies (Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Beatles, The Clash) and turn it into something visceral, all their own.FLAUNT MAGAZINE
Hundreds of young bands still make their generic stabs at short-fast-catchy, and every so often a good one gets lost in the crowd, on a major especially ("Never Gonna Die," "Astoria")-NYC VILLAGE VOICE
