Jumping Ships released a free download single yesterday called 'Movers and Shakers' and you can download/stream it below. The track, which is taken from their EP Standard Bearer , showcases the band at the height of their agression. Have a listen.
"Benny Grauer Movers & Shakers EP In October 2008 Benny Grauer went from Stuttgart to Berlin and worked intensively on new tracks and the establishment of his own label "Deep Circus", which went public in fall 2010. His first releases 'Nine Days Wonder" and "Hannibal" could be placed in the charts of all DJs and [...]
Boston's Movers & Shakers plays a style of roots-rock that falls somewhere between the roots/garage rock of bands like the Del Fuegos and Del-Lords and the whiskey-soaked, bluesy swagger of Paul Westerbeg's Grandpaboy project. Singer/guitarist Matt Price gave a quote last year to the Boston Globe that perfectly describes the band's music: " All of us [in the band] grew up listening to punk rock. We were teenagers who got into punk, and it was very much a change-your-life moment. But my mom was, and is, a huge Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty fan, so even when I was [...]
Why on earth didn't I write about this way sooner? I dunno, but I know I've been listening to this split from the Massachusetts guys in The Cold Beat and Movers & Shakers . Both bands play gritty rock that just sounds great with the clicks, pops, and hiss than comes from playing this 73. Specifically, The Cold Beat's two songs on the split are a bit more punk/post-punk than what Movers & Shakers do, but retaining that common thread of Replacements-esque American rock. Maybe a little like Red Collar or something [...]
The Cold Beat are a fairly new band hailing from the Boston area who have been getting some spins in the ATH offices recently. Sine the band is currently unsigned and releasing material on their own, we know that most of you probably aren't familiar with the band. The trio have been living around the Boston area for years and just started The Cold Beat after stints in a slew of other bands. Now coming off the release of their debut EP Dumbwaiter , the guys bring more new self-released material with a split 73 with [...]
MAKING NOISE in '09 Artists You Should Know Movers & Shakers BACK IN TOWN - Wrapping up a series of East Coast tour dates with Larcenist , Movers & Shakers are back in Boston. An indie rock fusion band, blending several musical influences (punk, Americana, soul, and of course - [...]
I have spent the better part of the last two days writing a motion to suppress an "improperly suggestive photo array." That is actually not as pornographic as one might think. In a nutshell, it is the problem that witnesses have picking out the right criminal from a photo line up when they say they think the guy had a mohawk, and then they are shown a photographic array with six mugshots that includes only one guy with a mohawk. The other five guys have other haircuts. So that's suggestive because it prompts the [...]
Those looking to kick off the long 4th of July weekend early are in luck as the Middle East has a pretty good line up for Thursday July 2nd. Side One Dummy newer signing and road warriors Fake Problems will be supported by Boston local faves Movers & Shakers and Quixote . Both bands have recently released new albums as Movers dropped Larrabee on June 9th while Quixote [...]
Boston's Movers & Shakers have a great little record called Larrabee that's "officially" coming out on June 9th. It's full of wide-ranging, ragged, and sprawling Americana rock that references everything from Paul Westerberg to The Band and from Lucero to The Clash. Sure, it's nothing new but done well enough that you just might like them apples. I sure do like 'em. MP3 | Movers & Shakers - The Evidence, The Proof Larrabee MP3 [...]
We don't really have a mission statement that we follow, but I've always told the contributors that if you don't have anything good to say about something, don't say anything at all. It's not that I completely despised what I'd heard from The Movers & Shakers ...it just that I couldn't get past comparing the band to a "poor man's White Stripes". Is that a bad thing? While Jack White generally has the ability to move and shake me...this did not. [...]
