5 Dollar Shakes New EP
- Written by Marky Edison
5 Dollar Shakes have released two EP’s so far, Back to the Start Again (2014) & Come and See Enough to Stay (2016) along with a number of music videos, and have found the market to be incredibly saturated. Therefore, with the release of these new songs, they have decided to do something different, and have capitalised on a brainwave, and the video making talents of bass player Richard X. Deering.
They are coupling the tracks with a story; a 17 minute long short film, entitled Transitions, which includes all 3 songs from the new EP, which will be released over the space of a week after the tracks become available on Spotify/iTunes etc.
They’ve decided to do something different and go this route in the marketing of this EP in order to set themselves apart from the hundreds of other acts in similar genres to us that exist in Ireland. While entirely confident in the quality of their music, and the commercial ability of the new songs, with so many acts taking up radiospace, they feel this added dimension is necessary in rising above the rest and being noticed by a greater audience. Check out the first video below.
