I would never have guessed this band comes from France. After all this is not your typical French metal or hard rock. Yet they are, and have even been around for the last decade, albeit with different line ups.
The music Shannon plays definitely has its origins in the eighties, and sounds like a cross between hard rock and European heavy metal. As a matter of fact this album is already their third full release, but I had never before heard of this band.
Their music is fine, and for a French band the vocals are quite good. OK, Olivier Del Valle may not have the most powerful voice there is in the business, but he acquits himself quite well of the job,. Musically all fits perfectly, which is not surprising, since most of the actual line-up at one time or another busied himself in other French bands. Oh, and if you ever wondered what Bronski Beat in its metal version could have sounded like, just check out the cover of heir ‘Small Town Boy’song.
