The ShakeDowns

Product Description
Take the most explosive, ironic, hard hitting group of sonic rockers on the planet, pair them with a legendary producer, add new and improved song writing chops, a long cross country pilgrimage and odd, astronomical rock’s’ roll convergence and you have the third and most ambitious offering from the DC based band The Shakedowns. Connecting with Jack Endino, the man who twisted the knobs and shaped the sound of seminal grunge artists like Nirvana and Mudhoney, and lately has been the alchemist responsible for the meteoric rise of Hot Hot Heat., Endino filtered the Shakedowns already lava like heat into a molten stew of protean rock and agile punk, and the results are whiskey flavored bar tunes that could win over rock and roll purists and pop-punk adherents alike.

Arrogance starts with AM radio frequencies and bursts into a frenzy of catatonic beats and wailing guitars. Get Up shoots floor driving tom beats like rhythmic cluster bombs that drive the song into a bar pounding last call. Don’t Understand Her coils speed tinged wailing chords under a gritty, country house vocal delivery that winds the song into a meth ridden dusk to dawn drunken rampage.

With over the top vocal styling, the straight ahead, twisting guitar licks and an unrelenting back beat, this self titled disc offers the first record equal in energy and passion to their climatic and overheated live shows, a testament to the band’s heart, passion and soul.

ON : Rock N Roll Makes Me Sick The ShakeDowns Manufacturer: VMS ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD Indie Rock | Indie & Lo-Fi | Alternative Rock | Styles | Music ASIN: B000NNHH64

Product Description

A burning collection of new and old material from Washington, DC-area rock twisters the SHAKEDOWNS. Includes material from their out-of-print first album Rock 'N' Roll Makes Me Sick, a fan-favorite CD-R, and some bonus new shit. Twenty-nine songs in all. Enhanced-CD features three video tracks as well. --------------- TRACKS: 1 Osterreich Blau Nr. Sechs 2 Juventud 3 Hey Mr. Freed 4 Gonna Get In A Fight 5 Baby You So Mean 6 She's Volatile 7 Leave That Man 8 Can't Give Up This Love 1 9 Hellfire Fever 10 Parchman Farm 11 My Baby She Loves Me 12 I Got Your Number 13 Do The Sex 14 I Don't Wanna Rock No More (tonight) 15 Intro 16 Motorgirl 17 Hound Dog 18 For Sale Girl 19 Just A Broad 20 Boy Band Girl 21 Parchman Farm 22 Friday Night 23 Shakedown Shuffle 24 Baby You So Mean 25 Hellfire Fever 26 Arrogance 27 I Just Wanna Be There 28 Volvo 240 29 Record Collector 30 Gonna Get In A Fight (video) 31 Jump, Slide, Twist, And Grind (video) 32 Leave That Woman (video) ------------------------------ No one can accuse The Shakedowns of underplaying their rock infused talents. If a guitar lick can be called twisted, then you probably heard one on the bands' successful VMS debut move. Add disaffected, but over the top hooks and sense of oblique humor butt of their own jokes styling and you have the recipe that has made The Shakedowns an East Coast phenomena. This eclectic shakedowns primer includes fan favorites from previously unreleased CDR, past hits from their out of print first album, and three bonus videos all on an enhanced cd package.
