Shakes made big waves in 2016 with their brand of beat-era bass lines, fuzzy guitars, classic rock ‘n’ roll drums and release of the toe-tapping single & EP ’Strange Tides’. The song debuted in the New Zealand indie charts as well as peaking at No.2 on Indie Shuffle and No. 5 on the Spotify Global Viral Hit chart. The video also landed a premiere on the Independents homepage & glowing reviews.
The follow up single ‘Waiting On A Feeling’ delivers everything you love about Shakes and more. Created while living in Mt Maunganui on New Zealand’s picturesque East Coast, singer/guitarist Alex Wildwood wrote, recorded & produced the track at his home studio.
Sonically, ’Waiting On A Feeling’ finds Shakes evolving & experimenting with new textures creating a hybrid of hip-hop production mixed with their signature 70’s influenced sound.
‘Waiting On A Feeling’ drops March 17th making a beeline for your playlist this year.
