The Shamus Twins
The reviews for the Shamus Twins' debut CD:
"Three piece power pop trio that delivers solid, basic, guitar dominated power pop. Solid songwriting makes this one of the better bands to come out in awhile. Nice vocals too. Honestly can't compare this band to anyone, so that means they sound like themselves." - Jam Records
"Tight musicianship, irresistible hooks & magical rock-pop vibes threaten to overwhelm the unsuspecting listener on this sleeper of an album. This power trio delivers the gamut of 70's rock styles - from the power pop of the Raspberries and Badfinger to the post-punk of The Police, Talking Heads & Gang Of Four." - Kevin Mathews, Fufkin.com
"Classic power pop that reminds us a lot of the Illinois school of pop---think Off Broadway, Pezband and Titan Records acts. Still, there's a bit more crunch to the proceedings here than with most of those bands, lots 'o jangle and open chords rippingly strummed and, of course, the requisite array of memorable hooks that make pop fans drool. Some of these songs, notably "Hello Hello" have a later-day Spongetones feel to them...Extremely Highly Recommended." -Not Lame
"Yeah, you're right, there aren't any real twins in this band, but their sibling-like harmonies, intelligent lyrics, unique arrangements and infectious song craft will make you forget their nom de faux pas. Their self-titled CD was one of the better discs of recent vintage". - David Bash, IPO founder and critic
"...world-class songs...imaginative, memorable and rockin'...full of surprises, and sure to please any music fan with even the slightest sense of adventure...a nonstop roller coaster ride through rock and pop land, loud and intelligent." - All Access Magazine, L.A.
