“The ukulele is having a massive resurgence of popularity of late, and I know some people are getting a little tired of it, but I’m not one of them as long as it’s done right. Scotland’s The Deadline Shakes are one of these getting right. Don’t You Be Cool mixes some great classic pop/rock and could almost be a great ELO song without sounding like it’s from a couple of decades ago.”
“The track has a classic psychedelic rock feel somewhere in between Phoenix and The Beach Boys.”
“a power pop delight”
“another cracking pop tune”
“There’s plenty of bands that mix indie and folk, but there’s something refreshing about the approach of Glasgow’s The Deadline Shakes to the way they do it. They sound nothing like M*mf*rd *nd S*ns, but I hear hints of Belle and Sebastian and The Beach Boys here.”
“Sounding like a combination of The Strokes from NYC and Glasgow’s beloved Orange Juice, either one of which should be enough cool for any occasion.”
