Across the generations, what was once fresh and hip can become antiquated and quaint. As far as music is concerned, what was once trendy inherits labels such as “oldies” or, even, “classic.” The former infers being passé or gathering dust while the latter inspires a level of reverence. Beyond pigeonholing music into era-driven cliches, there is a melodic nostalgia that particular sounds or styles evoke within us. On your personal music journey, “oldies” can evolve into “classic” with the luxury of perspective. Shake Some Action!’s single, “Spend Your Days In The Sunshine” is ensconced in the 1960s with its stomp and jangles style of pop rock.
Music has a way of converting its way into memories. Personally, you may have never experienced the era from which it originated. But, the impression lingers on. Sometimes, you recall a random Saturday night of terrestrial radio beaming decades-old sonics while riding in the backseat of your dad’s Z-28 on an ice cream run. “Spend Your Days In The Sunshine” is emblematic of 1960s pop rock with its tambourine smashing and wavy, wiry chords. For good measure, there’s even a subtle hint of a warping, psychedelic vocal transition along the way. Altogether, Shake Some Action! creates a hustling ode to a classic 1960s vibe.
Sometimes, music is a form of sorcery, bewitching your mind with visions you’ve long since forgotten. All it takes is a note, a theme or a general vibe to illuminate those projections in your mind’s eye. Shake Some Action! delivers that incantation with their 1960s-themed single, “Spend Your Days In The Sunshine.”
