Taken from the 11-track album that was dropped on the 3rd June 2022, Shared Image tells us to enjoy the ride as the world is going through bone-snapping convulsions that might break your spirit if you aren’t too careful with, ‘Along the Way‘.

Formed by Craig Delin, Shared Image is a Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada-born indie singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

”He has been playing music for over 20 years and has been in various bands such as Sueisfine, Hey You Millionaires, and Silver medals.” ~ Shared Image

Bringing the heat with a commanding performance that might have you doing some extra squats, Shared Image displays a tenacious mindset that shows us he is ready for anything and urges us to do the same. Heavy to the max and leaving us with no doubt that we need to wake up quick – before it’s too late – this is a track that will have you thinking deeper than before.

”Craig’s influences include Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Slint, Thee Oh Sees, Broken Social Scene, Mogwai, and many more.” ~ Shared Image

‘Along the Way‘ from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada-born indie singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Shared Image is a vital reminder that we need to strap up quick, before we are flipped around and taken for a vicious ride. With reality twisted and so much madness going on, we are thrown into such an honest track that has so much truth coated all over.

Sung with a rigorous edge and packed with a punchy riff, this is a single to play loud. Really loud.

Shared Image Redefines Who Does What on their superb new single.

Posted on 25 December 2020

Soft, jangly indie-pop is overdone at times these days, but ‘Redefined’, the first single from Shared Image’s new album ‘Who Decides Who Does What?’, is a cut above the usual ‘three lads with Telecasters from Crewe’, with a charm and style all of its own.

Shared Image – hailing from Thunder Bay, Ontario, which is a little more exotic than Crewe for sure – have pretty much answered their own album-title question here – this is the brainchild of Craig Delin, a 20 year veteran of bands now forging his own path by writing, creating, performing, and producing ‘Who Decides Who Does What?’ all by himself. So it seems he decides pretty much who does everything, and on the basis of ‘Redefined’, that’s working to extremely good effect.

Vocals, guitars, keyboards, drums and programming, and synth parts are all down to Delin, the whole track sitting together beautifully; there are elements of old school alt-rock indie goodness in the likes of Pavement, a little of Johnny Marr’s guitar work and certainly some Modest Mouse, coupled with a little of They Might Be Giants and maybe a touch of Crowded House in the mix too. That’s a pretty heady mix, and on ‘Redefined’ it works extremely well. Based on this, Delin deciding Who Does What is a pretty sensible plan.

‘Who Decides Who Does What?’ is out now across all major streaming platforms. You can hear ‘Redefined’, and the rest of the album, on Spotify, and follow Shared Image on Facebook.
