THE SHANKS
Hailing from Mono Township, Ontario, The Shanks are the rock 'n' roll brainchild of songwriter/vocalist/bassist Ian Donald Starkey
(St. Pistolwhip von Shakenstein), partnered with drummer John David Brummel (Colonel Crankshaft). The two have been creating
gritty alternative punk rock together since 2010, although Starkey originally started the project back in 2005, with the release of the EP “Here Come The Shanks” (self-released). Ten years later, with the release of “X” ep in October 2015, Ian Starkey incorporates Here to Everywhere Entertainment Inc. as the new label and publishing home of The Shanks.
With comparisons to the likes of Alice Cooper and The Dead Boys, it's no wonder that the duo were nominated for Album of the
Year in 2014 by Exclaim! Magazine for their fourth album, “Surfing the Lexicon”, produced by Sir Ian Blurton and released in the
US via Phratry Records. Their upcoming fifth full-length album (there have been several EPs along the way as well as a
compilation album), titled “Prisons of Ecstasy”, was produced by Nicke Andersson (Entombed, Hellacopters, Imperial State
Electric) and is due for a September 2016 release.
The Shanks have undertaken several tours in the US as well as Europe, showcasing at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg in 2014,
where they secured distribution via Broken Silence Germany; with their most recent US tour taking place in the Fall / Winter of
2015, supporting UK's legendary post-punk icons The Membranes.
Pressestimmen zum Vorgänger Album "Surfing The Lexicon":
kulturnews: "...haben sie einen perfekten retrorockigen Surfersound etabliert... In dichten Schichten aufgebaute Gitarrenwände, melodischer Harmoniegesang. leicht nölig und dabei extrem eingängig - Pistolwhip von Shankenstein und Colonel Crankshaft wissen wie's geht."
Rolling Stone: "Klare Songs, ordentlich Schmutz in der Attitüde: gut."
Hörerlebnis: "… man ist bei vielen wilden Eskapaden doch über ein harmonisches Gesamtkonzept in Form des vorliegenden Albums durchaus verwundert."
H-T-M 10/10: "Ich finde, dass sie die perfekte Mischung aus moderat rotzigem Punk und unschuldigem Rock spielen. THE SHANKS sind bester Punkrock und „Surfing The Lexicon“ 10 Mal „Drum and Bass“ der schönsten Sorte."
Grow: "...ein harmonisches und zugleich außergewöhnliches Gesamtes... eine tiefgründige Reise durch die unterschiedlichsten Klanglandschaften..."
rcn: "...10 atmosphärische Kleinodien..."
InHard: "...angesagter Trip für jeden Wohnzimmer Neurotiker."
