Shotgun Elvis, The Power Punk trio have another fine effort in “The Vale of Paradise”. From the opening track “Signed in Blood”, I’m feeling it; it’s not boring I assure you. “Beware the darkness and the mystery it brings” I can so relate to the lyrics. “To The Grave” a real transcending, when punk was punk. I could break down all the songs I like, there are several. The fun “Loose Women & Booze”, to “Circle of Friends”, you could easily find in the rotation of Q101. It shows how tough this business is, so much good music gets overlooked.

Shotgun Elvis seem to be an authentic old school punk band, with just the right flavor of Pop Punk that is happening today. Not to over polished or manufactured, I like that, it stays real.

Yeah, another step in the career of this band. If their first record was incredible, this new album is definitively another lesson of authentic rock to move your feet and enjoy all night. The best solution against the boredom!!!

Outstanding, full-color, full-bleed, tri-fold eco-packaging modeled after a 1940s pulp fiction crime novel immediately grabs attention and reflects the great care and cost Shotgun Elvis put into the making of its stellar 13-song sophomore CD.

This powerhouse punk trio is old-school-rooted but contemporary, never coming off as dated. Shotgun Elvis is the bastard child of The Clash and Bad Brains brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century -- light years better than most so-called "punks" on the national scene today.

Wear your Converse high-tops when you spin this disc, because from start to finish (including bonus live tracks), this is adrenaline-packed fun that makes it impossible to stay still. Solid production by Marc Nelson at Bear Tracks Studio.
