ELECTRIC SHADOWS

"Break the Rules" b/w "She's All You Got" 7"

Review by Lord Rutledge

MAXIMUMROCKNROLL Issue #280 September 2006

This NYC band appears to be cut of the same fashionable, no-chops cloth as the many other recent power-pop revivalists.  Trouble is that they fucking pull it off big time, so wipe whatever smirk you've had building off yer face.  "Break the Rules" willingly falls head first into the glam leanings of the genre, and they seem more than at ease letting things go there (look at the sleeve of you have any doubts).  "She's All You Got" is the true hit though, beginning as a spot-on homage to the Only Ones and finishing off as rockin' as any Real Kids hit.  The b-side alone is worth the price of admission.  Much, much better than I thought it would be and a must for unashamed power-pop freaks.

FEEL THE FEELING!!!!

Hey Everybody-

Just writin' to tell anybody and everybody to go buy Honest John Plain and the Amigos' new album, "One More and We're Staying".  Cuz if you like us, you'll love this, and it's the best new rock'n'roll album since Nikki Sudden's "Treasure Island"....if you don't know who Honest John is, I think yer lying, cuz you know he wrote "First Time", "Terminal Love", and (with the great Darrel Bath) "Operator" which you can hear on our front page.  Who makes records that matter anymore?? Well that's what us and a few of our friends are tryin' to do...(waiting for the Stalkers, Nice Boys, and Star Spangles albums and Baby Shakes singles as we speak...ours is comin' too we promise) But this guy's been doin it for years and still blows my fucking mind-- a genius in our midst.  Email   info@theboys.co.uk to get an autographed copy or go direct to the label, www.action-recordz.com .  Thanks fer listenin'.....

luv and a toast of blood red wine, 

the 'Shads

So yeah we're back in the city....had some great shows in Atlanta and a great recording sesh with the Dave Rahn- songs recorded: Break the Rules and She's All You Got for a 45 on Douchemaster Records, and I Can't Pick Up and Tell 'Em Why for another 45--who wants to put it out? hopefully we'll find out soon.  And so much for Canada, fuck those goddamned border mounties!! Thanks to Dave and the Sick Fits for all yer help anyway-- we'll be back soon with a sneakier plan for the border. 

LIFE ROCKS ON!

Hey Dudes--

Bam! Magazine Issue #4 is out now, featuring the Mojomatics, Hives and Taxi...and in case yer wonderin' why we're tellin you, the CD that comes with the mag has a secret surprise at the end-- three live tracks by yers truly!  Bowery Sunrise, Secret Affair, and Operator taken from our live appearance at the WFMU radio studios back in December '04. You can get a copy at http://www.myspace.com/bammagazine, and while yer at it learn Italian cuz that's the language it's in.  Or you can get a copy from us-- just ask nicely.  The next issue will feature an interview and studio tracks from us, so sit tight-- this one's just a teaser.
