The Shaking Hands
The Shaking Hands
Kiss of Death Records
10/10
Shaking Hands id exactly what I wanted to listen to today. I couldn’t find my Rancid CD and needed some music to scream along to, pumping my fists in the air as if I was no longer the apathetic asshat I’ve become, but the fireball of youthful aggression that I once was. Pissing on politics and flipping the bird to the proverbial corporate douchebags that are the antithesis of punk, Shaking Hands unleashes aural hell. Somehow avoiding the same sound that their hometown of Gainesville is famous for, SH creates street punk anthems that I wish I had growing up.
I can’t finish a sentence of this review without getting sidetracked by how badass this record is, so I am going to give up. Go buy it. Immediately.
