ARTIST: 1000 Degrees

YEAR: 2011

YEARS ACTIVE: 2009 - present ??
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
What is "Shelter" about? Good question! Can't find the lyrics anywhere on the net. Took a few listens but because these guys have Italian accents, even though they sing in English, it's hard to catch all the words. With the song being called "Shelter", I can guess that it's trying to find some sort of safe haven for something. Best I can do!!

MY THOUGHTS ON 1000 DEGREES:
1000 Degrees formed as a band sometime around 2009, hailing from Italy. Their first release was an EP called "A Little Beat Faster" in 2009. They dropped their debut full length album in 2011, titled "Has Already Past". The band released a video for "Shelter", as you can obviously see above as it's my song of the week! In 2014, the band released their sophomore effort, "Back To A New Way". This release was the band's most recent. 1000 Degrees can be at times melodic, almost pop punk and at other times be very technical, along the lines of A Wilhelm Scream or Propagandhi. They manage to mesh those styles very well to form their sound. I first caught wind of this band from reading about them on dyingscene.com. I believe the first song I heard from them was "Jack Elmackson". They really haven't been that active since 2015. They have posted a few things on their Facebook page as recently as 2019, but it is mostly of old live footage and what not. I'm not sure if they have disbanded or not and being that they are from Italy, there isn't a boatload of information about them. If you dig that technical punk style, these guys are a nice hidden gem you should check out.
