THE
SHOGUN'S DECAPITATOR - 'Head Hunting' CD review
"THE
SHOGUN'S DECAPITATOR is a band featuring members of other local bands
such as OPIUM LORD, MOTHERTRUCKER, and THE HUBBLE CONSTANT, and where
those other bands respectively bring the doom, the riffs, and the...
science, TSD bring the FUNK. Throughout these nine instrumental
tracks, most (if not all) of which appear to be named after local
pubs and clubs of past and present, you'll find some seriously smooth
yet booming bass grooves and licks alongside sublime rocking riffs
and guitar chords picked and strummed in some of the most creative
hooks and rhythms that I've heard in a long time, all driven by
pounding yet technically considered percussionary magic (of which the
intro to 'Exclusives' is particularly majestic). Dance beats,
technical and funky dual guitar play that harmonises beautifully,
stop / start song structures that I defy you to not want to move to,
and a rock undertone, all culminate to form a somewhat 90s influenced
sound that is both danceable and rocking. Check out opener 'Foley
Arms Foley Arms', or I particularly like 'Picture House', especially
that time change at the beginning, and 'Retreat'. Cool, now let's
party."
