{"product_id":"gtvs-sh-bang-lp","title":"GTVs \"Sh'Bang!\" LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter Philadelphia Garage rock heroes \u003cem\u003eMondo Topless \u003c\/em\u003efinally called it a day in 2011, keyboard man and group leader Sam Steinig wasted no time launching a new project, and \u003cem\u003eThe Gtvs\u003c\/em\u003e show he’s taken his love of cool sounds from the past and headed out in a new direction. On their debut album, Sh’Bang!, \u003cem\u003eThe Gtvs\u003c\/em\u003e start with the raunchy guitars and booming drums of vintage \u003cstrong\u003eGarage Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e and fuse them with classic \u003cstrong\u003eSoul \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/strong\u003e influences, with Steinig making like Booker T. Jones, Alan Price, or Felix Cavaliere on the Hammond or like \u003cem\u003eLeft Me on the Corner\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMind the Gap\u003c\/em\u003e. While folks who have followed Steinig’s work in the past will recognize his stamp on this music, \u003cem\u003eThe GTVs \u003c\/em\u003eare clearly a band and not just someone’s backing crew; Pat Wescott’s guitar is a powerful counterpoint, adding plentiful fire and grit to the tunes, and bassist Jude Dandelion and drummer Scott Galper are a fine rhythm section who can hold down the backbeat, heat up the dancefloor, or push these songs into high gear as the situation demands. The album has the open, natural sound of a live-in-the-studio session, and \"Sh’Bang!\" suggests this is a band that knows how to move a crowd - there’s plenty of sweat and soul in these performances, and if the music often looks to the past, the energy and attitude come from the 21st century and is as up to date as your next party. Folks who dug \u003cem\u003eMondo Topless\u003c\/em\u003e will certainly find lots to like in \u003cem\u003eThe GTVs\u003c\/em\u003e, but if you’re down with the retro-Soul scene or just dig R\u0026amp;B-flavored music that will let you wind it up on the dancefloor, you should put \"Sh’Bang!\" on your shopping list pronto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MISTY LANE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65884810838365,"sku":"TEENS073","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1112\/0309\/0781\/files\/9ec1ed_368ebb6909684ca3938f1b55bf529dfd_mv2_e4d58399-64de-4739-b414-73cda053c73b.jpg?v=1789147310","url":"https:\/\/6mc7qk-8f.myshopify.com\/products\/gtvs-sh-bang-lp","provider":"MISTY LANE MUSIC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
