The Shirts
The Shirts aren't just any old band - they're a living, breathing piece of New York City's punk rock tapestry. Born in the sweat-soaked, beer-stained crucible of CBGB in the late 1970s, they stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Talking Heads and Blondie, helping to stitch together the fabric of the city's legendary punk scene. Led by the charismatic Annie Golden, whose voice could cut through smoke-filled air like a well-aimed guitar riff, The Shirts quickly became CBGB regulars, their energetic performances and eclectic sound earning them critical acclaim and a devoted following.
Fast forward through decades of ups, downs, and the occasional dry cleaning (read: lineup changes), and The Shirts have proven they're made of sterner stuff than your average band. Now, in September 2024, they're back with a bang. Their new single, "Move On Groove On / Deux Royale," released on Think Like A Key Music, is like finding that perfectly broken-in leather jacket in the back of your closet, only to discover it's been magically upgraded with space-age materials. It captures the raw energy of their CBGB days while adding layers of hard-earned wisdom and contemporary production, proving that true punk spirit isn't about a particular sound or era - it's about the courage to keep creating, evolving, and rocking out, no matter what the fashion of the day might be.
