South Californian barely-indie group The Jakes are off to an extremely promising and confident start with Shake My Hand: the choruses soar, the composition and production is crystal clear and vocalist Sameer Gadhia knows his way around a vocal hook like no other. Despite a full track hiccup in 'Schizophrenia', Shake My Hand proves that The Jakes are a band to keep an eye on as they prepare for their major label debut in 2010.
