Shell of a Shell started as the bedroom side project of Chappy Hull (Gnarwhal, Pile), a simple exercise in personal songwriting. Eager to play out when he wasn't busy with his other bands, Hull asked Nick Swafford (Teddy and the Rough Riders), Noel Richards (Watcher), and Dylan Liverman to fill out the sound he had created on his demos, and the quartet became “a real band”. Their debut album, Already There, revolves around the idea of what life would be like without yourself and the answers you can never really get.
