Shane and The Shane Gang were part of the British beat scene in the mid-1960s, and this 1965 Decca single shows them in solid form. 'Come On Everybody' is a driving rocker with all the hallmarks of mid-60s beat music—tight instrumentation, catchy chorus, infectious energy. The B-side 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' offers a slightly melancholic perspective, showing the band's range. The production is typical of Decca's professional approach to beat music, crisp and clean without excess. Shane and The Shane Gang weren't cutting edge, but they were competent, energetic rockers who understood the appeal of beat music. This single represents the broad middle ground of British pop in 1965, when beat music was still dominant. A fun, unpretentious record.
