Wildy's World reviews Shake it or Leave it- Rating: 4 Stars (Out of 5)

From the dark underbelly of Toronto, where urban cowboys moonlight in the psychobilly clubs comes Christian D And The Hangovers. Mixing early rock n roll with punk, country and lots of beer, Christian D And The Hangovers do for rockabilly what Big Rude Jake does for big band music. After the well-received Life Gets In The Way EP, released in 2008, Christian D And The Hangovers had to go full length to build on their legacy. Build on it they have with the dynamic Shake It...Or Leave It! This is an album you can't put down.

Rockabilly HQ reviews Shake it or Leave it

The CD slides into the slot and the stereo displays "Loading"....suddenly Track 1, Vampire Rocker, rips out of the speakers as if some demonic sect had summoned something which Buffy will have to deal with once it's blazed a trail of carnage through the nighttime streets of Toronto.

Once the guys have you firmly by the throat, the release their grip a little with the second track. The whole CD, in fact, makes you sit up and take notice, with each rich, pounding rhythm, they crescendo they way through to, what is in my opinion, their magnum opus The Cramps' Cornfed Dames.

It's a hot summer day and I miss the ocean

Wish I was at the beach- and I got a song about missing the beach where I grew up.

Since the bay is what I'm thinking about right now, why don't you download Child of the East Coast and see what I'm missing?

Have you heard about Bandcamp?

No it's not the opening line of a bad joke.  While running around Canadian Music Fest the day after our showcase I learned about this site where people can download songs in various digital formats - and the choice is completely theirs! 

That seems like something no one else is doing so I thought I'd give it a try and set up a page where you can grab it for free.

The fans get to choose stuff- is this the future of downloads? Try it out and see what you think.

Blue Suede News review of "Shake It or Leave It!"

Here's and excerpt:

 

Blue Suede News # 89 Winter 09/2010
"Shake It or Leave It!" showcases the Hangovers upbeat rootsy Rock over a compact 12 song, 35 minute set, short and sweet without any filler....  Two of the best songs on the album stake out new territory.  Opener "Vampire Rocker," storms out of the gate in a fury of pounding drums, fiery guitars and yelped vocals, a horror-themed number with a Psychobilly edge.  And "Mr. Handsome" is an unexpected change of pace, a sinister serial killer tale featuring some great tremelo-fueled twangy guitar."
