  • Bio

    .. ..........Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.... 3 cheery bears drizzling melodic honey onto hot buttered alterno-rawk. "Birmingham's Best Kept Secret" - Tom Robinson Show, BBC 6 Music Shana Tova switch 'awkward' into 'insanely hummable'..... ..Shana Tova are pop purveyors boasting more hooks than a Peter Pan convention and more catchy than a Velcro Virus!.... "Shana Tova's immediacy on 'Morsels' is unapologetically to the point. However, the lush kaleidoscopic swathes of rolling rhythmical vibrancy provide a bed for Geordie Blake to leap from vocally, like some kind of musical eel. 'Ants' boasts a nuclear winter storm of a chorus while 'Sleech' is an eight year old terminal leper, nagging you with his Christmas list in July - persistant, contagious and yet moving." - The Fly Magazine
