Official press release:
The only band that has had to honor of the All Music Guide describing their years of touring shenanigans as having left a "path of destruction in its wake," Akimbo are back with another hearty ass-kicking that will remain a paramount moment of their recording careers.
Inspired by an infamous and bizarre legacy left from a string of shark attacks which occurred in the Garden State some 92 years ago, "Jersey Shores" isn't just metal, hardcore, punk rock, or whatever genre you can boil a band down to. Instead, it is a pure reminder as to why rock and roll was so hated and loathed in when it first arrived. Loud, commotions causing, rebellious, and defiant are just a few words that come to mind.
Recorded over a three week period at Headbanging Kill Your Mama Music in Louisville, KY with Chris Owens (Coliseum) while the band subsided on a diet of ramen, frozen pizzas and, of course, beer, "Jersey Shores" isn't the heavy/loud music that you would steal from the tape deck of your older brother's '87 Ford Escort.
Not only is it an abrasive assortment of gliding guitar riffs on steroids with guttural growls but it's also a hideous hybrid of doom and noise core that takes no prisoners while its big hairy balls hang out. Make no mistake, history will see Jersey Shores as the moment where Akimbo joined the elder statesmen of all that is loud and untamable in music.
There can be no more suitable home for a band like Akimbo and a record like "Jersey Shores" than Neurot Recordings, a label representing all that is loud and untamable in music. "Jersey Shores" will hit streets on September 23rd.
