MOVERS & SHAKERS-”Larrabee”

Posted on May 27th, 2009 by ekko

Gruff Americana has been all the rage since The Drive-By Truckers began making their mark on the world of indie rock, and in that spirit comes the slightly punkier Movers & Shakers‘ D.I.Y. debut album, Larrabee.  They may not be changing the genre, but they’re right on top of it, making tough rock and roll withi especially hot drums. One thing that sets them apart is their ability to change things up midsong, which they do on the the almost Clash-like track, “Bottom of the Ocean,” my personal favorite song on the album.  It starts like a Gaslight Anthem tune, but ends up with (almost sweet?) vocal harmonies and a great tempo change halfway through.  It’s the kind of song that makes you wanna shout.  “The Evidence, The Proof,” is another standout track and obvious cut for first single, mixing a Springsteen vibe with a ’80s mullet chant.  Music for young men, by young men.  And don’t leave before the great closing track, “Take Me Home.”

Dig it!

  2. I’m a writer and I would love to have people’s opinions on my work. Does anyone know any good blogging sites?. Twitter is not a blogging site and the only way people see your work on twitter is if they follow you. Twitter and Facebook are not answers that I am looking for. Thank you for your input..

    HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

    • Email me
      for the specifics but, basically:
    • I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
    • With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
    • I don't listen to streams.
    • I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
    • I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
    • Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
