THE SHIMSHAWS - Ear To The Wire |
It’s been 4 years since their debut “Subcutaneous” arrived and now comes the follow up! Like a warm chocolate chip cookie followed by an ice cold bottle of your favorite beer, this collection of rock/pop songs is for those of you who like riffy guitars, catchy vocal harmonies, big drums and plenty 'O hooks. Similar to the first album, “Ear To The Wire” is an interesting blend of classic power pop, rootsy pop and jangly Americana. Don`t let the last one scare you, pop fans, if yr not into the whole No Depression thing --- this is all about well-crafted, song-driven pop. We`re talking a wide range of coolness --- Bill Lloyd, Richard X. Heyman, Tom Petty and "Dear 23"-era The Posies in parts but also Steve Earle and John Hiatt, you`ll hear in new context. Unpretentious melody, spirited hooks drive the entire CD from start to finish, this is acoustic and jangle-roots-pop of the highest sort and The Shimshaws` alluring and fetching grasp of melody and illustrious hooks will leave many picking this up dropping us a line and say "Yo, many thanks!". Which brings us full circle: This is what Not Lame is all about. Extremely Highly Recommended.
