HARLEM SHAKES are a pop-music band that lives and plays pop music in New York City. The EP that we made is called Burning Birthdays -- you can order said EP directly from us (sealed with a kiss) or pick up digital copies at iTunes or eMusic (digital kisses only). Here's what the word on the street is:
"BEST OF NYC 2007 - Lethally charming and poised for certain success..."
-- The Village Voice
"Unlike so many up-and-coming New York bands, the Shakes avoid lingering in one narrow-minded framework. The harmonies may lend themselves to some throwback Spector-era comparisons, and some of the grander choruses may resemble a primordial New Pornographers or Walkmen, but thanks to a frenetic clip of hooks, you can't simply pigeonhole Burning Birthdays." -- Pitchforkmedia
"They're deriving more pure, unalloyed gratification from the sheer act of coming up with their songs than anyone living on this side of a heroin needle could reasonably hope to attain..." -- Stylus
