Shellac (sometimes referred to as 'Shellac of North America') was an American rock music group formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1992 by Steve Albini (guitar and vocals), Bob Weston (bass guitar vocals) and Todd Trainer (drums). They have been classified as post-hardcore, noise rock and math rock. Albini has claimed they refer to themselves as 'Shellac of North America', "when we're being pretentious." On March 20th, 2024, after a decade-long gap in-between studio albums, To All Trains was announced for release on May 17th. Steve Albini passed away from a heart attack in his Chicago home on May 7th, 2024, just over a week before the album's release, aged 61.
