The Shakin' Pyramids' 1982 album "Celts and Cobras" presents a snapshot of a band deeply entrenched in the raw, fuzzy aesthetics of 1960s garage rock, complete with psych-tinged organ riffs and a defiant, lo-fi production. This release captures their sound at a time when post-punk and new wave dominated the charts, offering a refreshing, if somewhat anachronistic, blast of pure rock and roll energy.
- The album was recorded at The Point Studios in London.
- It was produced by Barry Grattage, known for his work with several notable UK punk and new wave acts.
- "Celts and Cobras" reached number 17 on the UK Independent Albums Chart upon its release.
