Description
Get ready for a musical history lesson of the wildest kind! Vancouver's garage-punk specialists THE Bad Beats are back with a bang. On their new album "Shiver and Shake - 14 Canadian Cold Cuts," released via SOUNDFLAT RECORDS, the band pays homage to the musical heritage of their Canadian homelandwith 14 hard-hitting cover versions. After proving they have the 60s "fuzz" spirit in their DNA with albums like "His Vengeful Hand" and "Off the Hook," they've now dug deep into Canadian music history. Instead of the usual hits, THE Bad Beats present a selection of "Cold Cuts"raw, unpolished gems from cult bands that shaped the sound of the North. Look forward to high-energy reinterpretations of legends such as THE DEVRONS (who would later become THE GUESS WHO with the classic "She's Your Lover"), DAVID CLAYTON THOMAS & THE SHAYS (with the gripping "Take Me Back"), LES LUTINS ("Je Cherche") and of course, a tribute to the legendary NEIL YOUNG, with a gritty version of "Mr. Soul," is a must. The package is rounded off by a visual highlight: the cool artwork was designed by Tom Bagley (THE FORBIDDEN DIMENSIONS), whose style creates exactly the right look for these frost-bitten, red-hot garage tracks. "Shiver and Shake" is no mere nostalgia projectit is a loud, distorted sign of life from a band that knows how to catapult the past into the present. A must-have for fans of wild garage-beat and Canadian cult (garage-) rock!
