“IF YOU LIKE THE DEAD BOYS, YOU'LL LIKE THE SHANKS Chart-blasting two-piece rocknroll grenades for animal husbandry enthusiasts... do you really know where meat and potatoes come from?” New Music Canada / CBC3 “The creators may butcher sheep in a small town near Toronto, but they don’t butcher music… the resulting feel is deep, hard-driving rock that carries the listener along with a dark but captivating style. Intriguing lyrics, addictive basslines and spot-on drumming make this a short but sweet friggin’ underdog of a disc… their more than capable execution and catchy riffs, however are what make this album absolutely worth listening to. Just too bad it doesn’t last long! The Gauntlet (U. Calgary) “The Shanks? It’s like… rock and roll high school!” Dave Bookman 102.1 The Edge (Toronto) “A vibrant and vicious new foray into music” Lindsay Daily Post "The vocals are really aggressive and unpolished, reminiscent of late 80's underground punk... bass lines are often more than impressive. It finally dawned on me; DFA 1979, although the Shanks can be more lyrical... with this duo's talent, it seems to work. The Silhouette (McMaster U. – Hamilton) “Spitting out distorted, occasionally aloof vocals a la Julian Casablancas, in front of thick basslines and driving beats, the Shanks create some memorable hooks… this is only the band’s second limited release EP – bigger things are bound to follow.” The Nerve (Vancouver) “dyed-in-the-wool indie rock”EYE Weekly (Toronto)
