Shrew is a Heavy Psych/Fuzz Rock band from Portland, Oregon. Influenced by giants such as Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin as well as cult classics like Toad, Budgie and Dust, the band’s music opens a portal to the past to bring their Heavy grooves and Psychedelic improvisations to the future.
The story began when Max Siegfried, Selina Cleary and Shea Gegan of Greenseeker collaborated with vocalist Rosie Peterson of Slow Goat on a live performance of Black Sabbath’s “Snowblind” in 2022. Following this, the members’ mutual love for classic 70s Rock’n’Roll was revealed. After three successful releases as Greenseeker (including a 2LP released on Stonefly Records and a split on Electric Alley Records), the trio decided to partner up with Rosie full-time in Shrew.
The band has just finished recording their debut full-length, self-titled album with renowned engineer Justin Phelps at Portland’s legendary Hallowed Halls Studio. In their short tenure as a live band, Shrew has shared stages with Belzebong, Gnome, Messa, Spirit Mother and Greenbeard. In their other projects, members have also played with Mars Red Sky, Weedeater, Mos Generator, Hippie Death Cult, The Well, Deathchant, Tigers On Opium, Kadabra, Fever Dog and many more. Following the release of their record, the band plans to hit the road to bring their music to old friends and new fans alike.
On their self-titled debut album, Shrew digs deep into their late ’60s and early ’70s influences, but with a gnarlier, heavier edge. Recorded and produced between October 2023 and July 2024 by the legendary Justin Phelps at Hallowed Halls Studio – and mastered by Alan Douches in August 2024 – it’s a dive into escapism, mental battles, and the chaos of toxic relationships.
Selina Cleary puts it best: “The songs explore the desire to run away from a hard-to-face reality by overworking, partying, or fantasizing about fairy tale endings – but also how, in the end, we can triumph over these feelings and situations.”
