Dear friends, we are so glad to announce the release of the 10" album of Shoken Boys, form Tel Aviv, Israel.

Since now they have release an album and two EP's. This is their 2nd album and first on vinyl.

They are a jangle pop band , formed in 2019, the band consists of David Blau (vocals), Yaniv Brenner (guitars), Amit David (vocals, bass) and Amir Reich (drums).

With 6 years of playing together, Shoken Boys has developed a unique sound that combines Jangle Pop and Post Punk. The Jangle guitars meddles beautifully with a post punk style of the bass playing. All the while, Blau vocals confidently sits up top and remains effortlessly incomparable. Clearly the band play together for the love of music and the joy of exultant originality.

Their sound is a mix of beloved sounds similar to early Creation records, C86 and Sarah records.

For us is one of the best albums of the year, so don't hesitate to make it yours!
