Dreams in the Rat House

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS are rumored to be from NOW in Oakland California and comprised of Shannon Shaw (vocals, bass), Cody Blanchard (vocals, guitar), and Ian Amberson (drums, vocals). Dreams in the Rat House is their first LP for Hardly Art. From pop ballads to doo woppers, bomp stompers and punk rippers, country clippers and some psych-o trippers, it's all R'n'R and it's all right there in the Clams' hooded velvet trick bag. Ya feel lucky, punk?

Dreams in the Rat House combines the off-the-cuff hijinks and threadbare fidelity of Shannon and the Clams' debut, I Wanna Go Home with the songwriting focus of their great second effort, Sleep Talk, while exhibiting the fine art of making it all look easy.
