Spellbinding genius, wonderfully emotive and raw as hell. Like the most beautiful smack in the face possible. Definitely check 'em out live too.

What can I say? Saw these guys at End Of The Road and found a new band to love! Their live show was so insanely intense I had to get their album. Having spent the last few days in thrall to Harum Scarum I can safely say I think this is one of the best albums to have come my way in years.
If you get a chance check it out. After hearing the dark 'DOL', the heart wrenchingly beautiful 'Anything You Love That Much, You Will See Again' and the quirky 'Kathy Ray', you will wonder why the charts are currently chock full of utter rubbish and not owned by Joe Gideon and The Shark. Its barmy how these guys don't have more love. This is more than just indie. It's indie with bells and whistles on. Yeah, actual creativity as opposed to jangly pap. Gideon's voice will have you rooted to your seat as he weaves his bizarre stories over erratic rhythms that somehow manage to sit well even when all the logic in the world is telling you no!
Harum Scarum is an album you will love if you genuinely love music. It will scare people who love La Roux. Which is a good thing!

After hearing the divine "Anything You Love That Much" on Holby City I had to find out who this mystery band were. A quick look on the BBC website took me to a band called Joe Gideon & The Shark. Initially I was only interested in listening and downloading the aforementioned track, I decided to see what the rest of the album was like...
Thank the lord I took the time to listen to the rest of the album! Harum Scarum is a spellbinding piece of work. Other songs of note besides 'Anything You Love That Much' are 'DOL', 'Hide and Seek' and 'Harum Scarum'.
A genuinely engaging and brilliant album... Looking forward to seeing them live at some point!

Quite good
This album reminds me of John Cooper Clark, The Fall, The Three Johns, The Blue Aeroplanes, The Kills and Art Brut. The music is mostly bluesy but in an "indie" way. Read more

Brave attempt
Prima facie, you're probably not going to come across a cooler band that Joe Gideon And The Shark. They possess many of the ingredients needed to make an impact: an interesting... Read more
