Turn It Up Tuesday: Alabama Shakes

                                                                    Alabama Shakes
Almost went to see these guys in Austin on Saturday. But... thanks to Adele's twitter post announcing the concert, it quickly sold out. Oh poop. I've heard their being compared to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding... some good stuff. 
Recently, the Shakes have gained a lot of publicity which surprised my friends and I since they are relatively new to the scene. Their debut EP, Boys and Girls, won't even be hitting the streets until April 10th. Spotify doesn't  recognize them either, so for now, it's back to my ole buddies YouTube, Last.fm & ReverbNation. Or you can also visit their website, just click on the link underneath the picture above.

So I attempted to begin describing what they sound like to MY ears but it just didn't seem to do em justice. Then I ran across this article and this chick pretty much hit the nail on the head, so here you have it -
