Shy Beast was born an adult in 2017. Mature band, mature music. The band
simply transformed naturally from its previous body, MCG. That prior musical
entity built songs and a following, true. And as in all youthful things, it embraced
life and sang about it, but it never, ever, clicked the box entitled “I agree to the
terms of service.” The results of that are not exile, they are leadership. Hence
Shy Beast. Newcomers to Shy Beast’s music may be assured that yes, the band plays
electro-pop, but the boundaries of that are sure to be re-drawn with this new
creature entering the musical fray. Follow the band closely as the changes are
coming rapidly. Shy Beast stands well positioned artistically to step into the front
ranks of American pop music and any of its subgenres. The beast invites you to
hop on for a rumbling ride through the forests of imagination to the deep dark
hideouts of the heart.
