Formed back in early 2009, by Ricki, Jonathan and a case of beer. They wanted to create a band heavily influenced by the 80:ies, Motörhead, Guns n’ Roses and the like. Sprinkle a bit of modern sound like Hardcore Superstar on top and you have music for heavy metal parties and for just having a good time.
The band is probably most known for their sweaty, adrenaline packed and 100 % top fueled live shows and have been support to Electric Boys, Sister Sin, Art Nation, Babylon Bombs and Ryan Roxie amongst others.

Shakedown Suzies released their debut album “The Chase” (recorded at HoboRec Studios 2012 by Ulf Blomberg from Grace.Will.Fall), on their own, in 2017 on a strictly limited 12” vinyl, digital and stream. Find it on stream/digital or buy the vinyl LP here in our shop!

Back on track
After a five year hiatus, a friend convinced them to get back together to do a gig at the Rock am Red club in Jönköping which re-introduced the guys to the local scene.
Following the successful revival, 2018 started off with a bang at a packed Backstage Varberg and they quickly followed up by visiting in Grenaa, Denmark before coming home to support Electric Boys in Jönköping.
A business doin’ Pleasure
The band continued to play live frequently during 2018 and 2019 and a new album was recorded in late 2019 with Jon “Möjligheternas man” Solheim. Mixed and mastered by Andy La Rocque (King Diamond), A business doin’ pleasure was released in June 2020 on stream, digtal and vinyl.
