Shelter is a Hare Krishna Hardcore punk band formed by Ray Cappo.[1] Because of the Hare Krishna and Hindu-oriented messages in its lyrics, Shelter's genre is often dubbed krishnacore.[2][3]

Brief recent history

In 2001, the band released the album The Purpose, The Passion. In 2002, with a new drummer and a new guitarist, the band toured Europe and the eastern United States again in support of The Purpose, The Passion before going on extended hiatus.[4]

In 2005, Ray Cappo recorded a new 11-track album entitled Eternal with 10 new songs and a re-make of "In Defense of Reality." Eternal was released in May 2006 by Good Life Recordings. Ray also did a European tour with a few members of Dutch hardcore bands functioning as the band.[5]
