Shaky Molars have been described as "wild, flirty pop,"[1] and a November 2011 show opening for Mates of State was described by critics as "an indie-rock opera about Denver hipsters in love."[2] Potashner’s lyrics show a common theme of love for Denver, Colorado; Potashner has said in interviews that his return to the city after years in San Diego, California was the missing ingredient to Shaky Molars’ success.[1]
November 1, 2011 saw the release of the group's first single, “Daniele Marie Miller,” after which Shaky Molars announced they were in-studio for an album to be released in Spring 2012.
Notable acts Shaky Molars has played with include Mates of State,[3] Jens Lekman,[4] Wavves, The Blow, Grouplove, David Dondero, and The Show is the Rainbow.
