Since the show is today and I couldn't make the West Coast IPO, I thought I would share a review of the new disc from Powerpopaholic.com and give a bump for you left coasters.

The Shamus Twins "Garden Of Weeds"
The duo of Jerry Juden and Tim Morrow aka The Shamus Twins had a pretty good debut in 2004, so you have to wonder why this follow up took so long. It could be that both guys are still active in other bands (The Murder Bros., The Most, The Moondogs), so I'll give 'em a bit of slack here. The sound is straight ahead garage-styled power pop that will appeal to fans of The Grip Weeds, The Beatles, Kinks and other guitar centric bands. "You Know My Name" is a tight catchy rocker, and "Garden Of Weeds," a standout on the IPO Vol.10 compilation, remains a great track here. "Life Is Strange" has that great jangle and sha-la-la harmonies that you can sing along to. Like The Spongetones, the juxtaposition of strum, melody and a well timed hook in the chorus make most of the tracks here easy to enjoy. But I love it when they bring out uncommon rhythms and harmonic structures on "Did You Have To Change." The song brings out the best in the band, and some of the other tracks just can't touch it. A few tracks don't quite have the hooks ("Beyond You," "I Never Been Happy") but overall the Twins are leaps and bounds better than most bands. Highly Recommended for sure.

What Todd said, but add fantastic tight harmonies too.
