Shelter is a Hare Krishna hardcore punk band, formed by Youth of Today vocalist Ray Cappo in 1991. Because of the religious Hindu-oriented messages in its lyrics, Shelter's subgenre has been dubbed by some as krishnacore. The project was issued by Revelation under the band name Shelter; coined to invoke the idea of a devotee seeking 'shelter' from his guru, and ultimately, from Krishna, or God. The album, Perfection of Desire, ignited a new attraction to the Krishna ideas within a hardcore scene previously, if less intently, exposed to them by New York's Cro-Mags.
