The Shackeltons are a five peice band from Chambersburg, PA that has been catching some national buzz gernerated from possitive reviews from Rollingstone and Spin. They have also been getting lots of airplay on Y-Rock on XPN in the last few months. To build on that, The Shackeltons are going to showcase their talent at the South By Southwest Festival in Austin Texas during the second week of March.

Unfortunately, I only caught the last handful songs from this night but look forward to seeing them again. In the meantime here is part of the Spin review:

“What’s the Deal? Shake up a pinch of the Pixies and a dose of Black Rebel Motorcycle club with stormy instrumentation, the Shackeltons arrives unrestrained. Using surprisingly clean drums, guitar, and bass, the ferocious five-piece create an introspective and strangely attractive tumult of sound. The stony, vaguely frightening “Tremble” boasts edgy riffs to hit home its musings on love’s pains and problems. Such raw sonic analysis continues on “The Breaks,” where drummer Hallock’s pinch-hitting delivery highlights the band’s D.C. punk-influenced layers. Through it all, Redding’s hypnotic vocals slice like a growly, uninhibited David Byrne, especially on “Your Movement.” With Redding’s angsty outlook and the band’s steady backbeats, this four-minute nugget explodes in the middle for a frenzied tête-à-tête.

Fun Fact: The Shackeltons understand that a musician’s lifestyle isn’t all glamorous. “A long time ago, we opened for Our Lady Peace,” guitarist Eric Fisake tells SPIN.com. “We didn’t find out until we had arrived that the whole budget had been spent on this huge stage and to pay Our Lady Peace, so all we got was a bag of pretzels and a $25 gas card.” Hopefully, the band didn’t fight over who got the last pretzel. ” -Spin
