Album Review: The Shakeys - White Lightning

Bad Habits closes the album, reworked from their debut and bolstered by more ferocious production that screams through the speakers.



The Shakeys' second EP is a fast, powerful five-track collection of straight-up raw, bleeding garage-rock that sees them further embrace influences like The Saints and The Stooges while putting their own spin on the classic three-chord proto-punk sound. From opener, White Lightning to Pink Demon, the band are firing on all cylinders, sounding tighter and more aggressive, recounting tales of partying until dawn and taking aim at everyone from poseur rockers to shithead friends.
