Following the demise of Spinning Jennies, one of San Francisco's most revered and long-lived power pop bands, frontman Jeff Shelton formed the Well Wishers to explore his talents as a solo artist and further mine the deeply melodic foundation of the Jennies' unique style of pop.

Released in Spring 2004 on pop-friendly NotLame Records, the Well Wishers' sparkling debut Twenty-Four Seven charged out of the gates with a full-bodied, pure pop sound that garnered instant critical acclaim in the indie pop press. The album's rich melodic tracks, driven heavily by acoustic guitars, warm, ringing electrics, and cascading vocal harmonies punctuate Shelton's penchant for elaborate pop arrangements and memorable musical hooks.

Released in Fall 2005, the Well Wishers 2nd full-length Under The Arrows further delivered on the band's promise to offer a big, well-rounded pop album to transcend the staleness of commercial-radio rock and forgettable pop clichés.

Slated for release in Spring 2007, album #3 How I Won The War...Without Even Trying marks a notable artistic step forward for the band. Drawing equal influence from 80's post-punk and classic power pop, the album offers a poignant, yet decidely pessimistic take on the metaphor of love and war - all wrapped in a dense, fervently melodic package.

The Well Wishers' aim is to creep into your life and extol the virtues of timeless, well-crafted music. Plain and simple.
