==Links to Peel==
Peel played some tracks from Shannon's former band, Crowsdell, in the early-mid 90's and kept some interest in her debut single and album by playing several songs from it after the band split. However, after 1999, Peel seemed to have lost interest in her music and never played any follow up material.
