Swamp Shakers
Don't Wanna Miss
Full CD + bonus 45
(self)



The single was issued last year. I wrote: "The compact 'Don't Wanna' Miss' cruises agreeably, its briskness and amiable melody certain magnets. 'Shake It' is of much the same character, though in higher gear. Both benefit from clean vocals and dedicated instrumentation. And each throws a punch that connects."

That applies equally to this entire effort. Trenchent, smooth, lapel-grabbing. The scene benefits from bands that mean each note.

Recommended: "Hot Rod Rocket," "Buzz Me," "Born To Rock," "Don't Wanna Miss," "Gotta Gimme Watcha Got," "Shake It," "Didn't Start Livin'," "Hula Hoop Baby."
