“Influenced as much by Old Man Luedecke as by Arcade Fire, it is as if Pete Seeger met up with the Smashing Pumpkins for a ski and a jam. The different musical influences collide with intention and precision and avoid hipster cliché.” - Exclaim

“Free Press Folk Fest Faves – Shred Kelly” – Winnipeg Free Press

“Arguably the most real, raw, and evocative album of their burgeoning career. (Like A Rising Sun)” — Music Life Magazine

“Like A Rising Sun is an outpouring of explosive, fast-paced, and anthemic folk-rock, which I find incredibly impressive and enjoyable from beginning to end. Shred Kelly has very quickly become a new favourite band for me, and I highly recommend you give their music a spin.” - Great Dark Wonder

“Shred Kelly wowed the audiences throughout the weekend with their high-energy performances.”- Orillia Packet

“If you like lively Indie Folk, this is the right place for a concert of this Canadian band. Shred Kelly combines traditional and modern sounds to create a thrilling, energetic sound. Hardly anyone who could not get caught up in the Reeperbahn Festival.” - Irgendw
