The Shakey Aches

The Shakey Aches are a rowdy garage rock band from Ottawa, Ontario that arose from the ashes of a ton of Ottawa bands, such as Screamin' Fists, The Glads, Monohum, The Desecrators, and Golden Familie. The band's main influences are Memphis, fuzz, girls, and catchy hooks. They've toured all over Ontario and Quebec and have shared the stage with tons of great bands at festivals like Canadian Music Week, Ottawa Explosion, and Pop Montreal. Two of the bands' members, Matt and Tim, co-founded Pretty Bad Records and the band was the first to release a 7" on the label—"Junk Island" b/w "Hunger & Boredom." They also have released a split cassette record on Hosehead Records with Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs and released their debut full length in 2012.
