Introducing... The Shaking Sensations


Our good friends at A Badge Of Friendship would like to draw your attention to a fine band of Danish Post Rockers who go by the name of The Shaking Sensations (not Shaking Stevens as i first read it!).

Having released their 2010 debut EP, 'This Is Your Hellfire Region', the band experienced a sharp rise to prominence in Denmark due to the simple melodies that would lead the listener on a tranquil, dream like journey before culminating in a beautiful, often deafening chaos.

Debut album, East of Youth, encapsulates everything that is good about an over populated genre with tracks like “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” featuring heart-wrenching guitar work throughout which, while sparse, conjures up a variety of reflective emotions. This is in stark contrast to album closer, “Homage to Boyhood”, which really defines the bands heavier side. The track also showcases why the band have opted for two drummers perfectly, both rhythmically and in terms of the sheer wall of sound they manage to create.

Wondering what they sound like? Have a listen here:
