Shannon and the Clams

Beach Rock revival Oakland, California band Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud. Influences like The Beach Boys, The Shangri- La's, The Ronettes, and Patsy Cline shine through in songs like "When You're On", with front woman Shannon crooning like a scorned Leslie Gore, but with a rough unpolished edge inspired by the likes of The Cramps, Bad Brains, and fellow beach bum Nobunny.


"With their influences printed in bold letters across their sleeves, Cool Ghouls are troubadours of America's best music: soulful rock 'n roll, the kind not predisposed to fads and trends, the kind that pioneered decades worth of influential music that lives today with the same energy it did some fifty years ago."
