Our Take

Shannon & The Clams' latest offering, "Year Of The Spider", is a delightful, eccentric romp through the world of lo-fi surf rock. With their signature blend of 60s doo-wop harmonies and garage punk energy, the band takes us on a wild ride that is equal parts retro nostalgia and modern swagger.

From the infectious hooks of "Snakes Crawl" to the dreamy, psychedelic vibes of "Leaves Fall Again", Shannon & The Clams keep us on our toes with their eclectic mix of influences. The raw, unpolished production adds to the album's charm, giving each track a gritty, DIY feel that sets it apart from the slick, overproduced pop dominating the charts.

Lead singer Shannon Shaw's distinctive vocals are a highlight, with her soulful delivery adding a touch of vintage glamour to the band's edgy sound. And let's not forget about the infectious energy of the Clams themselves - guitarist Cody Blanchard, bassist Will Sprott, and drummer Nate Mahan - whose chemistry on songs like "Do I Wanna Stay" and "Midnight Wine" is truly electric.

With its catchy melodies, catchy melodies, and irreverent attitude, "Year Of The Spider" is a must-listen for fans of quirky, off-kilter rock music. Shannon & The Clams may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those willing to take a walk on the wild side, this album is sure to satisfy. So grab your leather jacket and get ready to dance - the Clams are here to rock your world!
