The rowdy PHX two-piece known as Shovel has been making their way around the Valley punk circuit for some time now, but their latest release, It’s Fun To Be A Nothing, has captured the attention of listeners well beyond our dusty desert. The 12-track album kicks off with the impossibly infectious “Monty” and the energy doesn’t stop until the very end. Shovel goes heavy on grunge but It’s Fun To Be A Nothing was released on slick blue vinyl through Dirty Water Records [USA]. Get yours.
