About The Shimshaws

Subcutaneous, the long awaited debut CD by The Shimshaws, overflows with well-crafted, melodic pop songs that will put a shimmy in your shake. Written and produced by brothers Todd McCombs and Scott McCombs, the album contains 12 songs filled with lush harmonies, big guitars, a driving beat and hooks galore. Stylistically, The Shimshaws' music ranges from clever pop rock to alternative country to tender ballads, all with a nod and a wink to artists as diverse as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Steve Earle and REM. Drop it in and crank it up! The Shimshaws, Todd McCombs (vocals, organ, piano) and Scott McCombs (vocals, guitars), recorded Subcutaneous at various Colorado recording studios starting in December 2002. With help from Kevin Lehman (drums & percussion), Paul Rogalski (bass guitar), Jeff Cowles (mandolin) and Christin Patterson (violin, cello), the album was finished in December 2003 and then mixed by Steve Avedis at Colorado Sound. Steve has worked with artists like Tony Bennett (Gold Record Awarded), Edwin McCain and NSYNC, to name but a few.

The new album, Ear to the Wire, recorded between 2006 and 2007, is available now.
