     AKIMBO "JERSEY SHORES" LP/CD Combo/ AKIMBO JAPAN TOUR 2010
     _____________________________________________________________
     
     After a very long wait, Jersey Shores is finally out on vinyl. Akimbo’s sixth release and its most cohesive to date makes its long-awaited release on wax. After releases on Alternative Tentacles, Seventh Rule Records and Neurot Recordings, the band has joined Japanese label RED COBALT INDUSTRIES to undertake their first JAPAN TOUR in November 2010. What better way to mark this titanic journey than to release this mammoth of an album as a vinyl/CD combo. This very limited Japanese edition of Jersey Shores will contain alternate artwork by the super-talented NAT DAMM- known for his rock posters for bands such as THE MELVINS, ISIS, CONVERGE, BOTCH, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, THE HIDDEN HAND- and will see the light of day October 12th 2010.
     
     Revolving around the infamous 1916 Jersey shark attacks, Jersey Shores is an impressive concept album that encompasses moments of eerie calm as well as the intense abrasiveness that mirror the viciousness of these shark attacks. Along with a more ambient and atmospheric approach, AKIMBO take in their trademark angular rock/metal - intense vocals, pummeling drums and ripping guitars- reminiscent of such bands such as THE MELVINS, KARP, BIG BUSINESS and BLACK FLAG.
     
     Hand-picked by Jello Biafra and metal gods NEUROSIS to join their respective labels,it is clear that AKIMBO is ready to conquer the world. They have slashedand burned their way through Europe and America and it is now Japan’s turn to be crushed. Akimbo take their incendiary performaces on the road November 20th-23rd.

   • I got a cheapo copy of the Neurot CD of this and found it pretty disappointing.
