about

Originally released in 2007, this 10th anniversary deluxe edition was remastered in 2017 and features an additional eight bonus tracks from the 2005/6 sessions, along with nine previously unreleased demos recorded in 2005.

"The year has just begun, and already the first knockout by an unknown band from out of left field has arrived." - the Daily Breeze

"A very impressive debut. . . when pop songcraft was less “American Idol” and more “Paperback Writer.” - the Rock and Roll Report

"a remarkably well-crafted set of jangly power pop packed with rich harmonies and indelible hooks reminiscent of Hoodoo Gurus, the La’s and other pop greats." -KEXP 90.3 FM

"a perfect hybrid of jangled-up pop delight that brings to mind not only the Groovies, but mid/late 80`s jangle faves like The La`s, Gigolo Aunts, The Mighty Lemon Drops, Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians and Matthew Sweet. . . Extremely Highly Recommended!!!"- Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame

"these guys are special" - Powerpopaholic

about

Shake Some Action! Seattle, Washington

“Shake Some Action! make sun-kissed Rickenbacker-rock that continues the tradition of the great power pop forbearers like the Kinks and Big Star, along with the jangle pop pioneers of the ‘80s like R.E.M. and the Feelies. Their sound takes their influences’ jangly past and brings it into a caffeinated now, with high energy records and performances.” Jingle Punks Magazine ... more

Sad Sounds of the Summer - deluxe edition
by Chris Richards and the Subtractions

supported by 9 fans who also own “Shake Some Action! (10th anniversary deluxe edition)”

Power pop is a pretty formulaic genre -- a glorious formula, but still, predictable enough that lots and lots of bands can pull off a "perfect" blend of melody, harmony, jangle and crunch a time or two in the course of their careers. But I can't name another record that hits the magic spot EVERY SINGLE TRACK. This is so f$%#ing good. Craig O'Neill

Terrific jangle pop with an edge, somewhere between Television Personalities and R.E.M. with a bit of Kinks in there, too. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
