Listen to music from Prisonshake like Whores Of Monroe Street. Find the latest tracks, albums, and images from Prisonshake. Formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1987, Prisonshake has delivered gritty, bluesy, and ballsy rock for 20 years. Lead by Robert Griffin (also head of Scat Records and previously of The Dark and Spike In Vain) and Doug Enkler (formerly of the Offbeats), the band has released two albums (plus one full-length collection of demos) and numerous EP's and singles for labels such as Scat, Sympathy for the Record Industry, and Matador.

On Prisonshake's first full-length album, The Roaring Third, the band gives nice-and-tidy rock a swift, unapologetic kick in the ass. Although it's unconfirmed if the members of Prisonshake indulge in alcohol, most of their songs sound similar to the drunken, ragged sounds of the Replacements, Johnny Thunders, and Flipper. Asiento" captures the group in all of their out-of-tune glory, while "Almost Always There" contains vocals similar to Lou Reed (circa his Velvet Underground days), with clean, sharp new wave guitar hooks.

Prisonshake had never released a full-length album (just singles), and were curious to see what would come out of making a complete record with an outside producer (ex-Dictator Andrew Shernoff). The result was rock at its raunchiest, à la the Replacements, and the finished album was released under the title The Roaring Third on Scat. tours with different musicians filling in for the departed original members, it all wound down due to unstable rhythm sections. The Prisonshake duo moved to St. Louis in 1994, where they continued writing songs and producing demos. The band followed up The Roaring Third with Failed to Menace in 1995, on the larger Matador label. Will Prisonshake ever release another record or play live again? Sure, if they feel like it. ~
