I'm still lovin' Shaky Hands' debut full length for Holocene . This is the kind of indie rock I can get with. The guys are young, unkempt and musically loose as all hell. Their self-titled disc comes out in sometime in April and you've really got to try to get your hands on one. I've been into a bunch of songs from the disc and it's just laziness that I'm linking to this label hosted song. Believe me there's more where this came from. The boys are trying [...]
Shaky Hands - "Summer's Life" This song has the replay value of an old stationwagon. The rhythm of a much-tar-stripped country road. A melody like the sun poking under the pulled-down visor. Lyrics like an old Babysitter's Club book, the only thing to read in the glove compartment. It's a car trip, a Sunday, warm when you close your eyes. And the air is much easier to move through than to breathe. [More] Destroyer - "From Oakland to Warsaw" Dear Roger, I'm sorry I ever said Your Blues sucked. I'm sorry I didn't believe you when you tried to defend [...]
Which of you will be dropping by tomorrow to check out the first ever Side One: Track One podcast? I have most of it ready to go and even though I have the feeling that it will be tweaked beyond reason over the next few months I am excited to be debuting it, especially since I currently work in radio and podcasting isn't exactly too different. I know it's going to be hard to forget the Friday EP but to help you in that regard I decided that today would be the perfect day for me to ramble [...]

mp3 : Shaky Hands - You And I [ Buy 'Cut Off Your Hands EP' ] This is one of the best tracks I've heard all year. Friday work drinks meant I missed out on their set opening for Starky , but from all reports, they totally owned the stage. All is not lost however - Shaky Hands (along with Pony Up! and Merle Morris ) will play another show on Sunday night, back at the [...]
The Shaky Hands are a New Zealand band from Auckland. The band have been doing good things lately such as releasing a new EP titled " Cut Off Your Hands " and recently supported for We Are Scientists on their Australian tour. I was lucky enough to see them and will see them again playing with Starky and Pony Up! If you like that thrashy dance punk, you'll love them. I'd compare them to Forward, Russia whom in which I think sound very alike to. The Shaky Hands You And I [...]
