The Quakes - Live In Tokyo

Review by Charley Stanley

Live In Tokyo by Quakes is an electrifying album that showcases the band's raw energy and musical prowess. Recorded during their 2019 tour in Japan, the album captures the band's live performance in all its glory. The album features 15 tracks that range from fast-paced rockabilly to slower, soulful ballads, all of which are executed with precision and passion.

The album kicks off with the high-energy track "Breakout", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight rhythm section and the lead guitarist's impressive solos are on full display throughout the album, especially on tracks like "I Don't Want You Anymore" and "I'm Gonna Leave You". The album also features a cover of the classic rockabilly tune "Blue Suede Shoes", which the band delivers with their own unique twist.

The lead vocalist's powerful voice shines on the slower tracks such as "You're the One" and "I'm Sorry". Her emotive delivery adds an extra layer of depth to the already impressive music. The band's chemistry is evident on every track, and it's clear that they have honed their craft through years of live performances.

Summary by Charley Stanley

Live In Tokyo by Quakes is a must-listen for fans of rockabilly and live music in general. The album perfectly captures the band's live energy and showcases their musical talent. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of rockabilly, and a great addition to any music collection.
