Shelter

Shelter, led by Ray Cappo, was a major '90s hardcore band that mixed energetic rock with Hare Krishna concepts. Born from Youth of Today, they released notable albums like "Perfection of Desire" and "Mantra," toured globally, and went through multiple line-up changes. Known for high-energy shows and collaborations with artists like Vic Dicara and J. Yeunger, Shelter tackled spiritual themes amidst a hardcore backdrop. They experienced mainstream flirtations, a serious van accident, and evolved styles before eventually fading from the U.S. scene while maintaining a following abroad.
