Modern Shakes are a melodic punk rock band from London, UK. The band was formed in late 2017 by Ian C (guitar/vocals) and Dan (drums/vocals), later joined by Ian B (guitar) and Matt (bass). The debut EP, “Murmur”, evoked the catchy melodies and thoughtful songwriting of bands like Banner Pilot and Leatherface. Highly positive reviews and gigs with bands such as Billy Liar, The Dopamines, Raging Nathans and Clowns helped to put Modern Shakes firmly on the map. 2020 saw the follow-up release, “Someday, One Day”, released via Cats Claw Records (UK). With singles “Fair Do’s” and “Cruising” getting fists pumping and choruses yelled at shows up and down the country, the band started to gather a following in scenes outside of their home town. The grind continues as Modern Shakes prepares to release “A Bolt From The Blue”, their debut full-length album recorded by Daly George at The Ranch Production House.
Previewing the latest incarnation of their signature heartfelt, catchy melodic sound, singles “Ask The Dust”, “Icing On The Horizon”, and “Canadasolite” have been tempting audiences with teasers of what is to come. Modern Shakes recognise the importance of living in the moment and finding the best way to breathe hope into your existence, whilst overcoming the daily struggles of life that family, friends, and your number one enemy, yourself, can throw in your direction.
“A Bolt From The Blue” is out now via Disconnect Disconnect (UK), Cats Claw Records (UK), Fond of Life (DE), Keep It A Secret (DE), Double Helix Records (US) and Punk Rock Radar (US).
