The Shelters were an American rock band, formed in 2014[2] in Los Angeles, California by Chase Simpson, Josh Jové and Sebastian Harris.[3]

All members of the band had previously played in the band Automatik Slim.[4] Tom Petty took an interest in the band and gave them the keys to his home studio, offering a listening ear and advice on whatever they were working on. They spent countless hours in his studio, working both on their own and with Petty. Both Jové and Simpson have credit on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’s 2014 album Hypnotic Eye[5] and on Mudcrutch's 2016 album 2.
