Shannon and the Clams – Dreams in the Rat House (2013) review
Shannon and the Clams “Dreams in the Rat House” (Hardly Art/Burger Records, 2013)
Not much I can tell you about this record that the music
doesn’t already say. Simple melodies of days past have you yearning for the
time when the jukebox at your local club had 7″s instead of awful 90s rock
compilation CDs. Doo-wop honestly hasn’t sounded this good since the days of
local sock hops and snake dances. Just when you got this band figured out they
throw a few hyper trashy garage tracks that could easily fit on the Nuggets
compilation or any of its many imitators. Ladies style your hair into beehives
and guys slick your hair back and don’t be afraid to dance! I know it can be
kinda awkward and messy at first but the best things in life are a little
awkward and messy. If your wondering what I mean, I’m talking about sex!
