Their debut CD Psycho de Lia, released in 1997, has sold over 2000 copies at shows and in regional record stores. Their second album, Sleeping With the Enemy, was released in the winter of 2000 and has receved great reviews.
Sheldon's unique style combines in your face hard rock with almost reflective moments of calm and quiet. Singer Daniel Garvin's unique voice, simple melodies, and the groups use of harmonies attract audiences from all walks of life giving them a diverse fan base. However, the groups style is not based around the typical "flavor of the day" sound. Live performances are an explosion of lush sound and energy that exhibit the band's superb musicianship. Sheldon's sound is as true live as it is on their CDs.
The group consists of three members: Daniel Garvin (bass & lead vocals), Hodgi Garvin (rhythm & lead guitar, backing vocals), and Keith Smyly (drums).
Sheldon has performed with such national acts as: Corrosion of Conformity, Clutch, Machine Head, Suicidal Tendencies, Stuck Mojo, Acid Bath, Drown, Snot, Nation of Fear, The Misfits, and GWAR to name a few.
They have enjoyed air play on stations such as: 96 Wave in Charleston, SC, The Rock Station 94.5 in Winston Salem, NC, Rock 102 in Savannah GA, and they have been featured on several compilation CD's including Deep South Records's Southern Slam disc. Sheldon has also been mentioned favorably on the nationally syndicated Howard Stern Radio Show.
If you are interested in a group that is dead set on bringing validity and a sense of realism back to rock music, then Sheldon is guaranteed to deliver.
Sheldon also recorded two previously unreleased albums (Illinois & Electric Shotgun Sounds) that will be released in 2012 as well as an album of totally new material. After a 6 year hiatus, Sheldon is back!

Ce monde il est cheum, il est tout tordu
Alors j'observe les mouvements du désarroi (lessgo)
J'ai du mal à faire comme si tout avançait dans le bon sens
Évidement que je manque de constance
J'arrive quand même à le faire quand je me concentre
J'suis en arrêt image, ah ouais que j'grésille
J'ai plus envie d'jouer, le jeu me déprime
Aucun équilibre, y'a que le feu que je maitrise
Y'a très peu de gens qui interfèrent quand je brûle
J'me sens invisible, car j'ai de vrais frères dans ce truc
Y'a très peu de chance que j'te réponde quand je m'isole
J'ai besoin de me couper du vrai monde quand je bricole
J'écoute Debussy dans le train pendant toute la tournée
Je recherche la réponse mais j'ai pas les clés pour la trouver
Je suis fort incapable de temporiser
Si la chance me tend la main
Je me sens bien illégitime d'en profiter (flash)
Ouh, ouais
Fallait réfléchir avant de venir faire l'évangéliste
Je me méfie des longs discours

The lyrics of Sheldon's song "New Age" delve into the artist's personal journey and struggles as he navigates through life in a fast-paced, chaotic world. The opening lines express a sense of restlessness and determination as the singer describes wandering through the city at night, trying to avoid financial struggles and striving to transcend the mundane realities of everyday existence. He reflects on his zigzagging path and the need to "dematerialize" before a potential crash, highlighting a desire for transformation and evolution.
The chorus repeats the phrases "New age" and "Vitesse" (French for speed), emphasizing a theme of progression, transformation, and perhaps a yearning for a new era or way of being. The repetition of these words serves as a mantra, reinforcing the idea of moving forward and embracing change in a world that feels chaotic and disjointed. The use of the term "New Age" could also suggest a shift in consciousness or a departure from old ways of thinking and being.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's inner turmoil and sense of alienation, referencing feelings of being trapped in a metaphorical "lockdown" aboard a "vaisseau mère" (mother ship). The depiction of feeling like an explosion since childhood and being made of metal suggests a hardened exterior and a resilience to external pressures. The lyrics express a disconnect from societal norms and a sense of observation and introspection amidst the chaos and uncertainty of life.
The final verse delves into themes of self-doubt, introspection, and a struggle for balance and meaning. The singer grapples with feelings of inadequacy and skepticism towards traditional institutions and societal expectations, choosing to trust his own instincts and intuition instead. The references to isolation, introspection, and the search for answers suggest a yearning for authenticity and a reluctance to conform to societal norms. Overall, the song "New Age" encapsulates a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and a quest for transcendence in the face of adversity.
