Shameless :: Now Playing
CD Review
By Laura Jenney
On a scale from 1 to 10 of great CD's out right now, hot and heavy LA rockers Shameless' new CD, "Now Playing" on LA based 909 Records, rates as an 11 in all areas including lyric content, professional execution of musical performance, marketability, broad audience appeal, CD cover, production quality and in every area! It also rates as an 11 on the Richter Scale, as Shameless' CD "Now Playing" rocks, in every sense of the word! To quote the band Shameless, "The time has come for shameless to bring rock and roll back to the music industry"; and indeed they are a band of their word, as Shameless delivers some very high caliber hard driving, butt kicking Rock & Roll, reminiscent in quality and sound as such great bands as Guns n' Roses, AC/DC, Rush, Red Hot Chili Peppers and other greats in the genre and vein, with completely original musical content by this band on the CD, and super tight execution of their musicianship by all performers of this exceptional band, complete with very impressive vocal performances by lead vocalist, Steven 'Blade' Hunter.
With an already vast and steadily growing number of fans, both throughout the US and internationally, Shameless is receiving and steadily gaining airplay for their hit single "She's So Pretty" from their sizzling new CD "Now Playing", on mainstream, college and internet radio stations all throughout the US, South America, Europe and Japan. To quote the material from the band's one sheet, "The video for 'She's so Pretty' recently made its way to MTV Brazil and you can expect the American version by the end of the year." Shameless has been #1 for eleven weeks in a row on the Largest Internet Radio Syndication www.live365.com and also a featured artist on XM Satellite Radio as well.
Shameless' CD, "Now Playing" on 909 Records can be purchased in record stores now, or online at CD Baby, or at www.myspace.com/bigshameless and/or www.myspace.com/909records.
In my personal opinion as a music industry executive, every track on the CD has 'hit' potential, perhaps reaching 'classic' status, as there is not one filler track on this CD, as every track rocks steady and solid! My prediction for this band is: they will reach "A list" major headlining status within the next couple of years, as they are THAT great of a band, and we at Mindsweep Entertainment & Promotions are backing them up all the way, and wishing them our very best!
