New music: Movers & Shakers "Movin' On"

Boston's Movers & Shakers meld soul and punk into their roots-rock sound.  On record, horns, three-part harmonies and organ flourishes create a sound reminiscent of The Band - but live, the songs take on a grittier sound.  Throughout their solid set opening for Delta Spirit at Northeastern's AfterHours club I couldn't help but draw Replacements comparisons, with more anthemic, fist-pumping choruses.  These are songs designed for larger stages. Check out the band's myspace here.

New track from their split-7" with The Cold Beat:
