The Shaking Hands (previously The Horror) play potent streetpunk like a whole bunch of other bands. They do a good enough job but it’s really hard to stand out in a a scene where most of the bands sound kinda similar. These dudes (including some of The Young Livers) do have a way with big choruses that harbour a whole lot of ‘whoa’-s and ‘ohhh’-s. Easy to sing along to while slamming around the pit or while having a beer.
It’s not like these guys reinvented the wheel but their self-titled album is good for some old-fashioned fun punkrock and like John Lennon said it a long time ago: sometimes that’s all you need. Oh no, wait… that was love! Whatever.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
