MP3 Sheglank'd Shoulders - Endless Grind
14 MP3 Songs
METAL/PUNK: Skatepunk, METAL/PUNK: American Punk
Show all album songs: Endless Grind Songs
Details:
Formed on the curbs of some of Calgary''s most secret skate spots, The Sheglank''d Shoulders are 100% Skate Rock, not that watered down pop punk those big labels from SoCal have been ramming down your throat for years.
No my friends, in the year 2006 this here is as close as you''re ever going to get to Streets On Fire, Thrasher Skate Rock vol. 2 and the sound of a flatspotted set of Rat Bones.
Featuring songs about the decline of the modern-day skate shop, skate legends Frankie Hill and "American Nomad" Bill Danforth, painkillers, homemade energy drinks and being too old to skate anymore, Endless Grind is 14 songs and 25 minutes of straight ahead punk rock.
Fans of Black Flag, The Faction, early SNFU, S.T.R.E.E.T.S and The Adolescents take notice.
Featuring members of The Motherfuckers, Mico and The Diabetics.
Here''s what the critics had to say about Endless Grind:
"I’ve been blessed with some amazing skate rock this time around. First of all, you need to watch the classic Powell Peralta video The Search for Animal Chin in order to understand the band’s name. Now that’s taken care of, it’s time to rock out. Sheglank’d Shoulders are a skate rock band in the purest form. Yes, every song on Endless Grind is about skating and its many facets. From the amazing ups of “Skateboard Hooligans” (the first skateboard oi song I’ve ever heard) and “Paradise Is an Empty Skatepark,” to the tragic lows of “Flatspot Hell,” and “Too Twanked to Skate,” these boys rip it up. Anything on this disc would fit in on Thrasher Magazine’s hallowed Skate Rock compilation series. Calgary has a rich heritage in skate rock and I’m happy to report that Sheglank’d Shoulders are representing nicely. Now shut up and skate!"

7 stars out of 10
These skateboard hooligans from Calgary pull together a pretty fuckin’ decent skate-core release drawing on influences like AGRESSION, STALAG 13, the ZERO BOYS, and the ADOLESCENTS. At times the band reminds me of HATED YOUTH, at times they remind me of the DAYGLO ABORTIONS, and most of the other times they remind me the STRETCH MARKS. “Flatspot Hell” starts off with a bass line right out of the DAYGLOS “Dogfarts”. And “Longboard / Short Dick” could rival HATED YOUTH’s “Hardcore Rules” as one of the most inspired songs of all time. The band sings about nothing but skating and it is pretty entertaining. Take ILL REPUTE and cross it with early DAYGLOS and SHEGLANK’D SHOULDERS is what you’ll get."

"Every once in a while, a band comes around that refuse to don the “don’t give a shit” vibe because they really don’t give a shit. They play loud music, get wasted and are in a band to have fun, not score chicks or get rich tryin’. It’s called “putting the music first.” Or at least a strong second behind some 40-pounders like recent thrash metal saviours Municipal Waste have proven. Their gutter punk equivalent/brethren, Sheglank’d Shoulders would rather sport a longboard than a Flying V but still feel it, as these 14 paeans to the life of skateboarding and overindulgence of fermented hops clearly prove. Delivering a direct crossover hit from the liberty-spiked side of the gap, essences of D.R.I., early Suicidal Tendencies and Black Flag are about as subtle as a fart on a church pew and no less entertaining. So is the band’s mantra, given song titles including “Paradise Is An Empty Skatepark,” “Kings and a Curb” and “Stop Bitchin’ and Skate.” This reckless, carefree attitude encompasses the whole album, becoming infectious and even a touch intimidating…why can’t all bands be like that? Simple albeit just shy of dumb, energetic without hitting overzealous and foregoing frolic for outright fun, Endless Grind should be the soundtrack to every half-pipe session."
