"The Great Shakes (The United Shakes of America) exploded out of my stereo speakers with some of the sharpest and most vicious trash and punk rock I've heard from a young band in a long time."

"Unlike so many post-postmodern ponies, The Great Shakes have far more than one trick: Each sneer is followed with a knowing wink, every wrist-slashing riff salved with a coolly bracing vocal turn. In short, the perfect soundtrack to those home movies of the sons and daughters of Iggy and Bowie doing the nasty on the White House lawn." - David Sprague (Village Voice, Trouser Press Guide to 90's Rock - co-editor)

Their debut EP is a five-song kick in the balls that explodes with attitude, crunchy guitars, and the confident/cocky lead vocals of band mouthpiece, Darren"
