The Shrinks

About Me

THE SHRINKS- The Shrinks entered this cosmic sphere in August 2006, hatched in a tiny West Seattle rehearsal studio amidst amps, speakers, empty bottles and piles of old Duran Duran albums.Musically, the band pays homage to 'October' era U2, Radiohead and Doves, while incorporating the 80s touch of bands like Men Without Hats and New Order. But The Shrinks are definitely not some retro-nostalgia act, but play inspired post-millennium pop rock. EE’s heartfelt vocals and shredding guitar-like keyboard, Buzz’s creative bass licks, James Otis III's pulsating guitar and Papa Toch’s thunderous beats create the distinctive sound that is The Shrinks.YOU CANNOT ESCAPE OUR MIND CONTROL!
