"The Shed blew a great many people away last year with their capacity for churning out great rock licks combined with a pop songwriting style that defies description. They also gave me a Track Of The Year and narrowly missed snagging my Artist Of The Year award in a year of some truly incredible competition. So, yeah, I like them" Steve Gilmore, MP3UNSIGNED / http://rebelriffs.blogspot.com/
Following their eponymous debut in 2007, The Shed return with a new collection of 13 tracks entitled 'Goldfish Love'. As the album title would suggest a somewhat skewed perspective is emitted through the fish-eyed lens of this six-piece from Cork. Over the course of 60 minutes the band traverses what seems like familiar ground but often turns out to be something unexpected including a road trip that ends in alien abduction [The Cliffs], an homage to the inventor of the lava lamp [Craven Walker], the guilty pleasures of homemade jam [Rory’s Homemade Jam], the serenity of eternal love [Goldfish Love], self-immolation [Wildfire], social networking satire [Friends on MySpace], an urban mystic [The Weatherman] and the ages of man [7 Songs]. Add to this The Shed’s ear for an array of musical styles from dreamy pop to indie punch; acoustic folk to a healthy dose of cosmic wig outs and you’ve got a creamy aural concoction ripe for ingestion.
The album was engineered in Cork by Finny Corcoran at BPM Studios.
Mastering was done by world reknowned Masterer Bob Katz of Digital Domain in Florida.
The song "Goldfish is a lot like Ravel’s Bolero....the hypnotic crescendo ....it’s a nice song that builds to an intense punk rock level peak and starts in folk music land" Bob Katz
"The Shed's first album was good but this new one is brilliant!"

Goldfish Love was launched at the Savoy Theatre in Cork on Friday June 4th, 2010.
The Shed -Craven Walker- Download Single Release Track : Craven Walker from Goldfish Love Album (released June 2010) The Shed release the fist single from their new Goldfish Love Album, in honour of the 10th anniversary of Lava Lamp inventor Edward Craven Walker. The track is being released on Sunday August 15th 2010 . Craven Walker is available to download in the following stores: http://www.downloadmusic.ie/theshed/craven-walker http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/TheShed3 http://www.itunes.com/theshedAbout Craven Walker (info from Wikipedia): Edward Craven Walker (July 4, 1918 – August 15, 2000) was the inventor of the Lava Lamp. War Record Craven was a pilot in World War II, flying a DeHavilland Mosquito over Germany to take photographs from an unarmed plane. He met his first wife, Marjorie Bevan Jones, at an air base where she was with the WAAF. Craven continued flying after the war. The Astro Lamp After the war Craven developed an idea he had in a country pub. The pub had a contraption made by a regular who had since departed, a one-off device consisting of an egg-timer and a lightbulb. While it was rudimentary, Craven saw potential and set about perfecting it. He set up a lab in a small shed where he mixed ingredients in bottles of different shapes and sizes. He discovered the best container was a Tree Top Orange Squash bottle and its shape defined the Astro Lamp. Craven set up a company to produce the lamps, naming it Crestworth. Operating from small buildings on an industrial estate in Poole, Dorset, Crestworth supplied the world with lamps for 40 years. They were a success through the 1960s, symbolic of psychedelia. Craven said, "If you buy my lamp, you won't need drugs... I think it will always be popular. It is like the cycle of life. It grows, breaks up, falls down and then starts all over again".Naturism Walker was a naturist, setting up his own camp at Matchams in Hampshire. It became one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Film Work Craven combined film with naturism. In the 50s and 60s nudity in film was taboo but he evaded censors by not showing pubic hair. As a result he became a pioneer in this genre. Under the pseudonym Michael Keatering, Craven directed the naturist film Travelling Light (1959). This was the first naturist film to receive public release in the UK. Described as an underwater ballet, it was shot off Corsica and released in 1960. He later produced Sunswept (1961) and Eves on Skis (1963). Death Toward the end of the 1990s, Craven battled with cancer. He died at Matchams in Ringwood, Hampshire and was buried in a small cemetery in the New Forest. He was 82.
good work
Seeing as I spend the whole year pandering to you bastar... um people, I think I deserve to take some time and listen to what I want to listen to - just for a change. Although this has come up on the MP3 Unsigned review list this month, I had already decided that I wanted to start off the New Year reviews with me ould mates from the Emerald Isle; The Shed. In case you have spent the la
It's been a dogs age since I last went in The Shed, so I'm gonna deviate from the normal list here for a minute and play catch up with one of my favourite bands this year. Right now I have all four of the tracks from their MP3 Usigned page nestled away on my hard drive where they have stayed and more than likely take up residence. They've been well quiet though since the furore surroun
The shed, where to start. They have a very professional sound. I've listened to these guys for a long time now, and this might possibly be my favorite track of theirs. criticisms: only one, wasnt too keen on the chime in the begining, but then throughout the song it goes down in the mix, and adds a lot Positives: What really gets me about this song, is the vocals. It s
i think this was a very good track...this is not even my preferred genre of music however it was very good.
This song reminds me of the sesame street theme song I so loved growing up in Stockholm, however all the musicians sound drunk and the singer is definately stoned. The bass sounds like it was done by a 40 year old wanna be session musician who didn't quite make it. All the backing vocals are drugged and slightly seedy. I wonder is there a sexual angle to all these men getting together in their she
Regular readers will know that I DO like a lot of stuff I hear but it takes a rare event to get me really throwin' me toys out of me pram and when I reviewed The Shed's 'The Parson, The Pauper etfekkincetra' (April 2006) I gotta to admit to even foaming at the mouth. Right now, The Shed look like having a terrific year because right behind this classic track comes a shedload more, if you'll
They say truly great songs capture your attention within the first 10 seconds. Well, The Shed's All Moist At A Bad Party does just that. Right from the glorious opening guitar riff to the genius first line "Don't touch me there it might be construed as innappropriate" you know you're in for a treat. Quite simply, The Shed are in a league of their own when it comes to humour and wor
This is the first time I have reviewed The Shed man what a treat I have had with my reviews this month. This track for me is one that I can play and play and play and not get bored with, and I do believe me. this track as had major kaneage. The vocals have been the highlight for me or more the lyrics. The use of effex on the vocals is amazing and very well done. Some really cool riffage
Good guitar sounds here on the acoustic and vocals and lmelody that slightly remind me of Led Zeppelin on "Hangman" and other tracks of theirs. Good track well sung and played.
What a great feel good song...excellent!
No prizes for guessing where this artist gathers inspiration and does the music making, the only question I would want answering is what kind of shed we are talking about. Is it shed as in garden shed (peculiarity of the British Isles btw) or is it shed as in the football term shed? Enquiring minds want to know. I suspect it's garden shed because it would be a good place to get a
Oh yes, foot tapping and hours of fun, i really love this song. Instantly you get a warm and happy vibe from the song, it really is so nice to see tracks like this one being produced. I could honestly listen to this all day its that damm good. Right at the start the harmonica gives it an instant punch of fun, and set you up for a song that really does tell a story. This is a song that wou
Well, this is not a style that I am accustomed to listening to, ....much..... I began dancing like a nut in a pub as this track went on, very catching,....not me dancing, the song. The recording is better then most I have heard in this genre, here or anywhere, everything clean, clear, vocals sound very well recorded, and the mention of Canada was just great, sonce I am canadian, living in
"Like a cross between the Divine Comedy and Lynyrd Skynard visiting the Pogues " That was my first comment upon hearing this track when it was first put up, and on the whole, I'd stand by that! This is a quality, foot stomping, get the blood moving, fast moving track. As soon as the track starts your foot starts going to the catchy tune, the musicianship is brilliant, and the band perform
