In a recent interview with the radical culinary journal “Left-Wing Larder Talk”, Pistolwhip von Shankenstein and Dr. Thunderwahl stated that they both fervently hoped to soon see their fellow Canadians writhing in tune-laden ecstasy on the beer-soaked floors of the nation.
It is somewhat difficult to believe that, despite the SHANKS having been a band and playing concerts internationally for a few years now, an uncharted boondoggle of this epic proportion is finally happening on home shores!
The SHANKS are very excited to announce new CANADIAN tour dates for May 2018 with the Winnipeg post-punk institution DUOTANG. 
Do like rock n’ roll? Do you like beer? Are you looking for a way to beat the January blahs?
The Shanks’ fifth studio album, “Prisons of Ecstasy”, produced by Nicke Andersson (ex-Entombed, Hellacopters, Imperial State Electric) is set for a worldwide release date of October 14th.
