Patty Hurst Shifter Set Release

10/25/05
. (conqueroo) Patty Hurst Shifter have developed a loyal following in the Southeast for years. Their forthcoming album, Too Crowded on the Losing End, set for January 24 release on Fontana/Universal-distributed Evo Recordings, finds them ready to show the rest of the world what they've been up to.

Patty Hurst Shifter (the name started as a joke but stuck) has evolved considerably since releasing its 2002 debut, Beestinger Lullabies, an album distinguished by "hard-hitting, textured anthems with plenty of space between the notes for the vivid scenes set by Chris Smith to sink in," according to No Depression's Rick Cornell, who added, "The band can bite hard or burn slowly, bringing to mind big-beat outfits like the True Believers and late local heroes the Backsliders." David Menconi in the Raleigh News Observer made his own Backsliders reference, taking note of "Marc Smith's overdrive buzzsaw guitar, balanced off by the high lonesome vocals of Chris Smith."[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
