The Daily Choice: Thick Shakes - Go Back To New York

There’s such a ramshackle sense of enjoyment to Thick Shakes “Go Back To New York.” As if the sundry members of this band were a bunch of shabbily dressed neurons, ricocheting about a pee-stained practice space, their instruments crumbling as they implode. Thick Shakes sound like an exploitation film looks, it’s good and fun, but the film has a too many cigarette burns and occasionally a frame gets dropped. No one cares though because a ‘68 Thunderbird is jumping a parade length of flaming school buses while topless Southern women scream. Raucous maybe, rollicking even.
Pick up the album for very little at their Bandcamp page.
