Play 90 second soundbite of 'Roses Are Red' @ 'CD quality'
Shenaniganz rock in the same sorta way as AC/DC; incessant guitar riffs and fills punctuate the vocal line as bass and drums thump along behind and drive the 'monster machine' ever onwards and upwards with pace, energy and direction! Shenaniganz may be relatively young but there's nothing at all naive or boyish about their hard-rockin' music; what you've got here is a full-on and, at times brutal, assault on the senses, no respite from the electrically energised mayhem, no time to re-gain your equilibrium, no time to draw breath as Shenaniganz rip through this very impressive set of fourteen concise but adrenalin driven monster songs.
There aint really anything totally new in the Shenaniganz musical armoury, it's very much a theme within a theme and a sound within a sound but, what they do they do extremely well! AC/DC proved that this awesome, full-on take on the form is timeless therefore always commercially viable and Shenaniganz are now trying to butt in on the scene and steal the crown. And, Shenaniganz definitely stand a chance of reaching their collective goal if 'Open Your Eyes Or Cover Your Head' is anything to go by! Boy, this rocks and boy, it rolls!! Oh, and let the last track play out to discover the more playful side of Shenaniganz - you'll surely smile, I did!!
'Open Your Eyes Or Cover Your Head' by Shenaniganz is rammed with well written and amazingly well executed rock'n'roll that's every bit as good and every bit as cool as anything any of their contemporaries can offer. Shenaniganz stay clear of modern metal mayhem preferring instead to offer the listener 'proper' heavy rock with true heart and soul; it's a big, beefy, well considered and well constructed sound that will always benefit from being maxed out on as many dbs as you can throw at it but works just as well at lower, sanity sparing levels.
'Open Your Eyes Or Cover Your Head' by Shenaniganz suggests that this youthful and energetic outfit are on the right tracks to attain commercial recognition and rock stardom. Shenaniganz prove that if you've got the talent age doesn't necessarily play a part in the success stakes - classy songs and exceptional musicianship form the crux of Shenaniganz's rocking world and it's from those solid foundations that Shenaniganz will thrill and chill their audience of heavy-heads with their undeniably punchy and no-messin' rock music. 'Open Your Eyes Or Cover Your Head' by Shenaniganz is potentially a massive album and the future sure looks good for these 'boys' - keep on rockin', keep it live and keep it real guys. Success is surely just around the corner for Shenaniganz and this extremely fine album should see Shenaniganz moving closer to reaching their dream. Great work, superb album, sensational band!!
