In a rare display of promotional virtuosity, local powerhouse Shake It Records has scored a home run with Wussy’s 2006 sophomore release, Left for Dead.

Over the course of the fall of that year the band became the darlings of the Usual Suspects:

First, Cincinnati’s CityBeat dropped a long article for the record’s release party.

Next, Rolling Stone featured a review by Robert Christgau in the same month that Spin’s Steve Kandell issued a strong 4/5 stars.  Even alt-weeklies in other towns got in on the action without supporting tour dates, like The Boston Phoenix  piece here.

I knew this was a good record while we were working on it, but I didn’t expect all this.  Someone’s doing something right at Shake It!  Way to go!
