Biog:

The band formed in February 2007 and soon after released their first EP " Big Day Out". Following this and a large number of live dates the band released their first single "Angeline" to much critical acclaim. The track racked up numerous plays on BBC Radio 1 and also the BBC Radio Ulster "Across the Line" show, U105fm and Phantom Fm in Dublin. The band consists of four full time members two of which hail from Dublin and two from the North of Ireland. The band have most recently been recording their new single "Long May you Reign" in Windmill Lane recording studio in Dublin.  They are influenced by a wide variety of genres and are not afraid to mix things up when it comes to recording and playing live. With comparisons being made from the likes of The Band to Low and even at times The Killers, it would be nearly impossible to sum up John Shelly and the Creatures into just one sound.

"Our favourite new band of 2008"  Rigsy, BBC Accross The Line.
