Album Notes & Community Reviews

Relocating to the UK to collaborate with pub-rock producer Dave Edmunds, San Francisco's Flamin' Groovies spearheaded a wildly energetic, brilliantly executed British Invasion revival. 'Shake Some Action' relies heavily on ringing jangle-pop guitars and deeply romantic, Wall of Sound production, forging a fiercely melodic, highly uplifting power pop classic.

Descriptors: melodic, wall of sound, jangly, infectious, retro
