PLEASE LOOK FOR THIS RECORD AVAILABLE ON ITUNES Shakedown has been a band in waiting for far too long. A Band full of potential, but short on delivery...At least where recorded output was concerned. But finally, that has come to an end. With "Call It What You Want", Shakedown has released a CD that actually captures how great a band they've become in the last couple of years. And it does in a big way. This isn't another Shakedown two or three song EP, but an impressive 18 song full-length. Their sound is an unapologetic tribute to old school ska and reggae dub. It often evokes happy memories of say, the English Beat or even sometimes in a more contemporary vein, Sublime. This CD is dead on. The band is playing in top notch form. The arrangements are tight and groovin'. I Love a band where the singer is as good as the band that is backing him. Jeffry is a truly underappreciated talent in the Sacto music scene. Hopefully this CD will remedy this oversight. Kudos to A.J. for the lively and clean production. There is so much going on musically, but it never sounds busy...Active, yes. Groovin', absolutely. and so, so soulful. Hey it even has a bonus track that is actually a bonus! When does that ever happen? It's a lovely little acoustic ballad that ends the CD with just the right vibe. The guys are very excited about this release, and righttfully so. Call It What You want is a must have for anyone who's a fan of the more reggae side of ska. Jerry Perry editor Alive & Kicking Magazine
