We get catchy, danceable, stick-in-your head songs courtsey of this energetic unsigned Brooklyn band. The harmonies and minor chord shifts on "Bria" are sweet and compare well to Weezer, with gorgeous three part harmonies. The songwriting is strong on "Please, Lucia!" with it's Beatles meets do-wop style that compares well with Teenage Fanclub. I was very impressed! - Powerpopaholic.com

Bio
Shakedown At The Majestic formed in the fall of 2008 in New York City with the goal of bringing catchy, danceable, stick-in-your head songs and fun, energetic performances to NYC's music scene. SATM's influences include early Beatles, Weezer, Doo-Wop, The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, The Zombies, The Hives, and the Pixies. Their signature style involves tightly woven harmonies and interweaving vocal melodies, drawing from rock and pop's early years but delivering something altogether fresh. At once nostalgic and fiercely original. In their short time as a band, SATM has played shows in some of the best venues in NYC, developed a devoted following, and played the finals of the 2009 NYC Emergenza Music Festival at Webster Hall. Shakedown At The Majestic released their self-titled debut EP in the summer of 2010. Recently, they have been regulars at the acclaimed "Hipster Demolition" concert series in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and headlined the Liahonaroo music festival near Nashville, Tennessee. They recently relocated to Seattle, signed with new management, and are working with legendary producer Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Soundgarden, The Posies, Low, Screaming Trees, many more) on their new EP, to be released in the October 2015.
