DESCRIPTION:
http://www.OutOfFocus.TV presents a mini documentary on Shannon and The Clams.

"Many have said to have been possessed by thee haunted howls and beautiful growls of their two lead vocalists, hypnotized by their heavy heartbeats, and mesmerized by their magical music. This is a ride that contains both thrills and chills so hold on tight." - HARDLY ART

"...something like a super-tight punk rock band leading a sock-hop." - SFWEEKLY

"winking retro-tinged rock fronted by Shannon, a bad-ass broad who you may know from Hunx and His Punx. Her voice, which can go from soulful to snarling in a five second span, carries the band far beyond mere nostalgia." - NYLON

"There are a few things you can usually count on with a new track from Oakland's Shannon and the Clams: a melody that could be ripped from a classic R&B or doo wop song, an impressive surf rock guitar solo from Cody Blanchard, and an awesomely brazen, full-throated, vibratto-filled vocal from Shannon Shaw." - PITCHFORK
