Details:
"Dubbing themselves the Shaker Hoods, the trio quickly worked up a set of muscular, back-to-basics rock and roll. They started hitting local clubs in October and have been on a tear ever since."

--Richard Gintowt (The Pitch)


"The Shaker Hoodsâ debut album, Mean Machine, bears a striking resemblance to a lot of other vistas in the collective rockscape. Mostly metal, with a definite â80s vibe and heavy nods to the musculature of Iggyâs Detroit, itâs an imperfect document of an undoubtedly killer live Kansas City band.
Most of Mean Machineâs cuts slam sure-footed, tight and under the four-minute mark. Frontman Jon Freemanâs singing is straightforward, with some of Lemmy or James Hetfieldâs growl on the bottom and a taste of Chris Cornellâs clarity up top, but not much in the way of histrionics. Itâs sturdy and serviceable, complementing brothers Paul and Ryan Marchmanâs similarly workmanlike guitar and drums.
When the record clicks, itâs a lot of fun. Leading off with its strongest track, âThis Chariot May Kill Me,â machine-gun guitars and shifting time signatures combine in a sophisticated head-banger that conjures some Metallica menace.
The not-so-vaguely Guns Nâ Roses-inflected opening of âDead and Goneâ leads into an ugly punk/metal slammer that ends exactly where it should, closing the album on another high point."

"Mean Machine...Independent. Jon Freeman (b), Paul Marchman (g), and Ryan Marchman (d) delivered some high octane, hard drivin' rock to the studio this morning. Roaring like an open header 440 down I-35, the debut disc from these veteran Kansas City rockers really puts the POW in power trio!"
