The group emerged from the remnants of internationally acclaimed power-pop\/psych powerhouse Grand Atlantic and after their final shows in 2013 <strong>SACRED SHRINES <\/strong>provided songwriter Phil Usher with a new vehicle to showcase his fresh body of work and to start over with a refocused musical direction and a raw canvas to play with.<\/p>\n<p>During their brief tenure, <strong>SACRED SHRINES<\/strong> have shared stages with The Dandy Warhols, The Upside Down, The Demon Parade, Flyying Colours, Tumbleweed, The Murlocs, ORB, Stonefield and many more. The band self released their debut album <em>Come Down From The Mountain<\/em> in July 2016, with tracks mixed by Brett Orrison (The Black Angels), Michael Badger (King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard, Demon Parade) and Liam Judson (Cloud Control, The Laurels). Before the dust had settled on their debut album, <strong>SACRED SHRINES<\/strong> released a 6 track follow-up EP entitled <em>Trail To Find<\/em> in 2017. On the back of constant touring and radio airplay, <strong>SACRED SHRINES<\/strong> signed to Californian label Rebel Waves Records at the end of 2017 and since then have been working tirelessly on tracks for their sophomore LP <strong><em>Enter The Woods<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 The band are no strangers to the sometimes precarious path of the independent artist, with the constant pressures of moving forward as a group resulting in an evolving lineup since the release of the first LP.\u00a0 Adding in a global pandemic to the mix, the band took longer than anticipated to finish their 2nd album, but this time of reflection, regrouping and adversity had a significant part in shaping <strong><em>Enter The Woods<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
