I'm not sure this is the right section for Shannon and the Clams but felt I had to share this wonderful voice of Shannon Shaw.
I discovered her through Mojo magazine after reading a small article on her and decided to listen to her. What an amazing voice she has. Definitely one for the future.
from wiki:
Shannon and the Clams is an indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, Shannon and the Clams has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups.[1] They also said to love "the music from the 50's oldies to 80's punk".[2]
The band includes vocals from bassist Shannon Shaw, guitarist Cody Blanchard, and keyboardist Will Sprott - along with drums by Nate Mahan. Shaw and Blanchard met at the California College of the Arts, where they began performing together.[3] Shaw is also a member of queercore punk outfit Hunx and His Punx.
Shannon and the Clams debut album, I Wanna Go Home, was released in 2009. In 2011, the group followed up with their sophomore effort, Sleep Talk.[4] Their third album, Dreams in the Rat House, was released in May 2013.[5]
Their album, Gone by the Dawn, is described by Still in Rock as "the most beautiful emanation of recent years of what I would call the 'culture Elvis Presley'".
