One of the greatest, hard driving, indi-punk bands ever! The music is said to extend the dynamic and frequency ranges of analog. Formed in Chicago, the band is headed up by Steve Albini, formerly of Big Black and Rapeman. The other members include Bob Weston, and Todd Trainer. Both Steve Albini and Todd Trainer are known widely through the music industry as producers. Shellac is one of the best kept musical secrets of the 1990s.
P.S. There are so many aspects to this band and what it does, it would be impossible to list them all.

P.S.S. If your idea of an indi band is R.E.M., this isn't the band for you!
Video footage of "Steady As She Goes" can be found on youtube. This is the only official video footage of Shellac playing. Albums include:

Get the shellac mug.
A derogatory repurposing of the original word ("shellac" usually refers to lac resin which is often melted down to make varnish, or, to the purpose here, a thin varnish containing the lac resin) which is used to characterize someone of thin character; all surface, no substance.

Get the shellac mug.
A drunken state of being induced either by playing excessive amounts of beer pong, bullshit pyrimid, or by consuming a very high proof liquor using a "chug mug."
Shellaced is not only a state of being, but also a state of mind, in which one becomes completely obsessed with making it to the frats, the rugby house, or any other nightly house party in which there will be inevitably more drinking.
Origin: Our 7 foot long beer pong table had to be sealed with shellac to protect its superior paint-job. the word just stuck thereafter.
Person 1: Hey do you want to go to Danieley J103 for some beer pong on thier sweet-ass table? I bet we'll get amazingly shellaced!
Person 2: Nah I can't man, I was over there last Sunday and those girls got me completely shellaced before they had finished thier first game of bullshit pyrimid.
