Whenever people ask me where the band name came from… Well, here’s the answer… Track 1. Top is the LP from 1993, bottom is the single from 1992.
This is SONIC SHAKES first label release and it’s quite a looker! This new release by Melbourne motorpunk rock n roll band, MUSCLE CAR, has quite an interesting back story to it.
The recording of these songs started in 2010 in France and were finished in Melbourne in 2012. The recording, mixing and mastering was done in 3 separate countries. Here’s the short of it:

It might no work out so cheap for USA folks with the dollar like it is but then again, when I was there I paid $12 for some singles that were imports so maybe it isn’t so bad? Anyway, check it out…
