Description
Liam Collins, Baz Barwick, Owen Emmanuel, Scott McKeon and James McKeon (Rusty Shakle) have hand signed their 2012 CD “Wash Away These Days” on the front cover in black ink. Signatures obtained at The Acoustic Festival Of Britain in Uttoexter, UK, 27/05/12. Think Seth Lakeman meets Mumford and Sons, this a band PRESLEY | COLLECTIBLES are promoting this year.
Rusty Shackle formed in early 2010 and their infectious pulse, style and musical genre – whilst potently contemporary – is difficult to pigeon hole and has been described by Plugged In magazine as the “Bombay Badboy of Folk” a reference to the hottest Pot Noodle on the market. This said, elements of folk, rock, bluegrass, Celtic rhythms and Delta blues are clearly discernible. Either way, feet tap to whatever the specific nuance. Stunning, high-energy live performances and boundless enthusiasm make sure you’ll leave exhausted, with their tunes swimming around your head for days after. They are well on the way to ensuring they are everywhere this coming summer. The Shackle’s debut album ‘Wash Away These Nights’ has been very well received and reached number 22 in the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart, the singles reaching as high as number 2. Songs from the album were chosen for the main play-list on BBC Radio Wales, with singles ‘3AM’, ‘Cold Hearted Town’and ‘Beating Heart of a Kingdom’ getting heavy rotation with several live sessions for the BBC and airplay and interviews on other stations – Radio 1, Nation Radio, Swansea Sound, Bro Radio, GTFM, Scarlets FM – indicate the exciting buzz around the band.
