Swear and Shake
Saturday, June 29th
8pm



"I really do love all the songs on [Swear and Shake's latest album]. For one thing, they don't sound alike at all. Fabulous is the band who can string together cohesive tunes into a stellar record without regurgitating the same themes, chords, styles, and even melodies.
Fans of She and Him, The Head and the Heart, Fleet Foxes, and Mumford and Sons will love Swear and Shake. - See more at: http://awaitingtheflood.com/the-new-standard-by-which-all-other-albums-will-be-judged-maple-ridge-by-swear-and-shake/#sthash.bJqw1btr.dpuf

This fast-rising Brooklyn quartet is coming to Mechanic Street. Lucky us! They blend equal parts soul, folk, and rock into their own fine, fun mix. They've opened for a slew of bands like Weezer, the Lumineers, and G Love and the Special Sauce. With their excellent 2nd release, they are spending more and more time as headliners. This will be a full band show (drums, banjo, awesome lead singer, the whole nine-yards).
My first attempt at reviewing Maple Ridge went a little something like this:
Swear and Shake just…  This album… I don’t even… Holy mother of… I LOVE ALL THE SONGS!
Complete lack of professionalism aside, I really do love every song on this album. For one thing, they don’t sound alike at all. Fabulous is the band who can thread together cohesive tunes into a stellar record without regurgitating the same themes, chords, styles, and even melodies. In this regard, Swear and Shake is fabulous.
