Already legendary for their insane live show, 'What Is?!' shows the band harnessing their live power into 14 blasts of pure punk-soul. Originally released on Germany's Hazlewood imprint in July 2007, 'What Is?!' shows The Shrines at their best.

Their unique Sun Ra cum Stooges take on psychedelic big band soul is full on here, a literal aural middle finger to the calculated garage rock taking over the malls of America. Time to re-do those best of lists from a few years ago.

"What Is?! is goofy, affecting, nostalgic, and cathartic all at once, at every moment." - PITCHFORK
