Radio Reelers – Shakin’ at the Party (Dead Beat)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Oakland, CA shaker makers the Radio Reelers drill a hole right through your rotten skull and fill it fulla 4 dollar champagne and infectiously catchy rock n’ roll on this shameless ode to the good times and the bad girls that come with ‘em. I could rattle on for a few hundred hair-splitting words on exactly where and how the aptly named Radio Reelers scored their formidable rockabilities, but that’s just not the kinda mood these fuckers put you in. Hell, I’m surprised I’m even still sitting down with this ‘un blasting away. Suffice to say, every song is about rockin’ the party all nite long, and every song sounds exactly like it’s gonna rock the party all nite long. How’s that for truth in advertising? If you have any interest at all in roof rattling, punked-out garage rock, or in the simple pleasures of acting the king fool on Saturday night, or just in having a good time for once in yr miserable fuckin’ life, then you just gotta pick this one up, man. If every jukebox in every bar in the USA had “Shakin at the Party” in ‘em, not only would everybody –including you, even- get laid more, but there would probably be less people getting socked in the nuts or knocked out cold with pool cues. And maybe we’d defeat terrorism too, I dunno. Just get it, man. It can’t do you anything but good.
