Band Profile: Adorable Shell

Adorable Shell was born out of the sun-soaked sands of Miami Beach in 2011. Close friends and band members, Rick Harrison (lead vocals and guitar), Bella Martinez (bass and backing vocals), and Tommy Reed (drums), found their sound amidst the fusion of coastal vibes and city life. They started their journey jamming in beach bars, attracting regulars with their unique style and infectious energy. After winning a local battle of the bands competition, their careers were propelled to the next level. With their signature mix of indie rock and sun-kissed pop, affectionately dubbed “beach rock,” Adorable Shell has been surf-riding the waves of music lovers’ hearts ever since.

Their breakthrough song, “Seagulls & Suntans,” propelled them to international fame after it debuted in a popular teen TV show. Since then, they’ve released three full-length albums and toured all over North America and Europe, earning a dedicated fanbase. On stage, the band embodies laid-back coastal charm while delivering a polished, energetic performance that reflects their urban roots, and they’re known for their ability to get even the most reserved audience members on their feet and dancing.

Music Genre: Indie “Beach” Rock

Song Title: “Seagulls & Suntans”

Verse 1:
(C G Am F)
Woke up to the sound of seagulls singing,
In the land of endless sun and never-ending summer,
Barefoot, chasing the ebbing tide,
In the heart of the city, we found our seaside.

Chorus:
(C G Am F)
Seagulls and suntans, we’re living on beach time,
Surrounded by city lights that dance in the coastline,
Through the hustle and bustle, we found our peace,
In the rhythm of the waves and the salty sea breeze.

Verse 2:
(C G Am F)
We swapped skyscrapers for palm tree silhouettes,
Neon lights replaced by fiery sunset,
In the midst of the crowd, we found our solitude,
In the murmur of the ocean and the beach’s quietude.

Chorus:
(C G Am F)
Seagulls and suntans, we’re living on beach time,
Amidst the city’s roar, we found a rhythm so divine,
Through the noise and chaos, we found our harmony,
In the symphony of the sea and the city’s symphony.

Bridge:
(Dm Em Am G)
Underneath the starlit sky, we strum our guitars,
Matching the melody to our beating hearts,
City or shoreline, wherever we may roam,
We found our music, and we found our home.

Final Chorus:
(C G Am F)
Seagulls and suntans, we’re living on beach time,
Laced with the city’s pulse and the ocean’s rhyme,
From the crowded streets to the endless sea,
We found our sound, in Adorable Shell, we found our melody.
