First Reviews Of Sunny Days Ahead

"This Seattle band brings a bit more sonic aggression to their jangly power-pop sound on their remarkable 2nd album. Like their sterling debut, it's another first-rate set overflowing with melodic hooks and rich harmonies while also showcasing more energetic tempos and biting guitar lines." - Don Yates, KEXP

"The bright yellow-orange sunrise over the hill could not be more fitting to describe the shimmering power pop delivered by Shake Some Action!.... Musically, many of the songs are jangly Rickenbacker pop, packed with harmonies akin to The Meadows or Rembrandts. But some of the tracks dig deep with crunchy guitars and just flat out rock, like the scorching lead off track, "Get It Together"- Bill's Music Forum

"All of the things that made the debut great are here again on Sunny Days Ahead: the retro late 70s-early 80s sound that nevertheless doesn't seem dated, the Rickenbackers, the great tunes, and of course Hall's vocals, which fit the material and the sound perfectly....So while Sunny Days Ahead might be a semi-ironic title for a band that hails from Seattle, it's an apt descripton for power pop fans who take the time to pick this one up." - Absolute Powerpop

Check out the new record for yourself at CD Baby where they have 2 minute samples of each song. They also have limited copies for sale prior to the national release on June 17.

 

Here's what people said about our debut album:

"The year has just begun, and already the first knockout by an unknown band from out of left field has arrived." - Sam Gnerre, the Daily Breeze

"a remarkably well-crafted set of jangly power pop packed with rich harmonies and indelible hooks " - KEXP 90.3 FM

"You gotta love the name! And they live up top it! BIG TIME! ... Very Brit-Pop leaning and bursting with jangly and crunchy guitars! A brilliant debut! GREAT!!!" - Kool Kat Musik

"simply a great powerpop album" - Seattle Powerpop Blog

"full of hooks and dripping with vocal and instrumental harmonies that would make The La's blush" - Three Imaginary Girls

"a perfect hybrid of jangled-up pop delight. . . extremely highly recommended!!!" - Not Lame

"a damn good pop band. . . Rich jangley guitars and melodic chorus, with a bit more muscle than your average pop band. . . . these guys are special." - Powerpopaholic

album coverSHAKE SOME ACTION!: Shake Some Action!

"...hook-laden, lush and timeless. After a few listens you will be utterly smitten with this band" - threeimaginarygirls.com

Hi!

Our new single released today! "A Pyrrhic Victory" - available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and also available in our player here on MySpace of course... it will only be released digitally and we'll add it in our player too of course.
