Swampblood
Th' Legendary Shack*Shakers southern gothic epic has its latest chapter. With Swampblood the Colonel JD Wilkes takes the muddled influence of his new home in western Kentucky, pours it through the funnel of eerie south Louisiana bayou culture, and shakes it up 'til it explodes with the thick swamp blues of Slim Harpo. With this new offering the band plays with a heavy but accessible chug, like the sound of a pirogue's plodding diesel outboard moving past the fire-breathing refineries of Port Sulfur. Though treading new ground, Swampblood holds true to the Shackshakers' signature aesthetic, resting on the dark fringes of American culture, more interested in the sinister nuances behind a frequently Rockwellian facade. Musically, straight swamp blues swirls with rockabilly, minor key polkas, and industrial rock all draped over Bo Diddly's primal thumping heartbeat. This is a limited edition LP, there will only be one press of Swampblood on vinyl. Click the player below to stream the entire album now.

Pandelirium (single)
Get ready for 7 inches of tough-love and agri-dustrial musical shovel fighting. Following on the heels of their most recent long-player, Pandelirium, th' Legendary Shack*Shakers present a 7" of the pure-black vinyl variety. Expect an A-side ("No Such Thing" from Pandelirium), a B-side (the previously unreleased "Born Again Again"), and an almost unholy combination of field hollering, funeral marching, polka pumping, and punk rocking as th' Shack*Shakers continue to burrow deep into the darkest recesses of the American psyche! Vinyl.

Pandelirium
Ladies and Gentlemen, With Pandelirium, th' Legendary Shack*Shakers continue their relentless tough-love affair with America's musical demons...this time enlisting the services of the great Jello Biafra and the right Reverend Horton Heat. Implementing field hollers, funeral marches and murder ballads along with spaghetti western, polkas & punk, th' Shack*Shakers rebuild these rudiments into their own monstrous, agri-dustrial abomination. Simply put, this is the sound of the New American Gothic...Steely eyes, white knuckles, pitchforks and all. This is a limited edition LP, there will only be one press of Pandelirium on vinyl. Be sure to get yours now! All orders of this album come with a free digital version which you can download from your Stash right away!

Believe
Limited Edition 180-gram vinyl. Ladies and gentlemen! Is Colonel J.D. "the last great rock n' roll front man," as no smaller opinion-meister than Jello "Dead Kennedys" Biafra has opined? Ladies and gentlemen! Is this "the best damn band in America," as no less richly imbued a progeny than Hank Williams III has claimed? Ladies and gentlemen! In this turbulent world few things are certain, but we are inching ever closer toward certainty by announcing that this is music for both sects of blue hairs - the punk rock, Kool-Aid-dyed kids looking for their next great musical fix and the kindly old ladies down the street who have lived long enough to know what good music is. Ladies and gentlemen! Believe is a new full-length release traveling directly from the seclusion of the Yep Roc Records warehouse to your soon-to-be-ecstatic ears. But this is not just any ordinary record; this is a triumph of Vaudevillian exuberance melding the rural, agri-dustrial rhythms of Appalachian hoedowns, the intensity of gutbucket blues, and even the madcap oompah of Polka. Ladies and gentlemen! It is with great pleasure that we introduce to you... The one... the only... Th' Legendary Shack*Shakers!
