RADIO REELERS
Shakin' At The Party (Deadbeat)
Reviewed by Alan Wright

---

Gotta love a band that kicks off their CD with a song called "My Stereo." The Radio Reelers are all about rock and roll, and a have a healthy Devil Dogs sound. Mix in some Johnny Thunders and Chuck Berry riffs, and you got some good music. They bill themselves as "San Francisco's Only Rock'n'Roll Band," which is quite a claim, but these guys are really good. They got together in 2001, and include former members of the Fells, the Shrinks, the Trust Fund Babies and the Weird Lovemakers. On the back of the CD is a picture of a bunch of records, and in amongst them is the first Teenage Head album which shows they got great taste, too. It ain't anything new or terribly original, but it's great rock and roll.
