With a limited release in 2010, the album was warmly received with the track 'Witches Garden' appearing on a Classic Rock Magazine cover CD.

The Shanklin Freak Show

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Freak Show! The Shanklin Freak Show can only be described as an Electro-Glam-Circus-Rock band.

Known for their often chaotic live shows - which feature peanut butter, fire breathing, KY, glitter tossing, stilt walking and a dancing Jesus, amongst other things - as well as their offensive sense of humour and 'F**k you' mentality, they split opinions on every level.
