Shaking Hands and Right Hook Records
Medusa Stone recorded "Shaking Hands" over a period of four months at Audio Genesis in Wilmington, NC with long-time friend and fellow musician Tommy Brothers. Brothers recorded the band, helped with pre-production, and co-wrote "Loaded Gun" with Justin. He also plays rhythm guitar on the album and provides many backing vocals. Medusa Stone and Tommy Brothers share production credit for the album. Damon Johnson provided production consultation for the band from the road. During the mixing Tommy and Justin seemed to live in the studio, sometimes not leaving until 3am. Around the time of the album's completion the band was contacted by Right Hook Records, an independent label out of Greensboro, NC. The label showed interest in releasing the album and sent the final mixes to Atlanta, GA to have them mastered by Glenn Schick. The ending result would be what is now titled "Shaking Hands". The album was released on July 24, 2008. The band starts touring in support of it in August 2008.
