Shackeltons, The

Indie rock that dips from the same well as Franz Ferdinand and others of the ilk that takes 80’s beats and adds a post punk urgency but waters it down with accessible vocals and melodies. Great stuff overall that beats the living hell out of anything on commercial radio and has its place here in the college realm. Pick any.

1) pensive start to mostly gleeful upbeat rock
2) almost halting, mathy start, but turns upbeat epic rock
3) little bit of a new wavey back beat feel to this
4) slow “sad” intro turns driving beat, quite a shift
5) desperate feel, driving
6) more rockin out, halting feel
7) not rockin out “sensitive” vocals/lyrics
8) mid paced, sorta mundane
9) dramatic, dark overall
10) driving intense with breakdowns
11) 80’s high hat beat figures high, familiar sound
