Reviews: "The best pop band you've never heard of. Shelter Belt is a seven-member collective that mixes complex instrumentation for an almost genre-defying sound." "With music so diverse in each of their songs, Shelter Belt will have you hopping and dancing at one moment and grooving to their jazz club styles and beats a few moments later. Shelter Belt has a style that is for everyone. There is always something interesting." "A style-blurring blend of instruments and approaches."
"Eclecticsm is the name of Shelter Belt's game and the band pulls it off with an exceptional brilliance. Each and every song is unique, not only musically but lyrically as well. Shelter Belt's extensive intermixture of all types of music gives them the uncanny ability to connect with all types of music listeners. This is easily one of the most well-rounded and cohesive indie bands to come out of the Midwest in a looong time." "This Shelter Belt CD will probably end up on a lot of 'best of' lists if they can get it in front of the critics by the end of the year. Maybe the biggest surprise so far in a year desperately in need of some surprises, Under The World Awhile is a giant leap forward for this band." "In the band's follow-up to its classy 'Rain Home,' Shelter Belt maintains an incredible level of musicianship and ups the ante by displaying a more mature understanding of how each musician's role in the seven-piece complements the group as a whole. 'Under the World Awhile' tosses the boring clichés of pop music out the window. Keeping in mind that real drums go boom-boom, not pish-pish, and horns and strings aren't just for orchestras, Shelter Belt has created refreshing proof that popular music can be created with more than vocal effects processors and synthesizers."
