L.A. quartet the Shakers covered a lot of well-trodden ground on their debut full-length “Oh So Loud,” which boasted heavy-metal riffage straight out of the Sunset Strip’s past, thunderous rhythms and a singer, Jodie Schell, intent on making it sound urgent and fresh. Schell and bandmates Chris Lee, Kyle Kozlowski and Nick Woods have been working on the follow-up album, “Rescue Team,” due to arrive late this summer, with co-producer John Schreffler, Jr. The single “Over and Under” is for fans who like their rock straight with no chaser, not outside-the-lines enough to wow the indie world and a bit short on the muscle blues-rock banner-carriers like Dead Sara have. The Shakers have no shortage of energy, though; don’t forget to towel off.
