   About shinobu


What other people have to say about Shinobu!

"The group sounds like a pissed off Pearl Jam writing filthy dark indie rock with heavy guitars and gravelly vocals."
-smother.net

TRUE!

"This album is not what I expected. The first track is just some guitar noise leading into the second track, which is abrasive at best."
-punknews.org

TOO TRUE!

"Indie rockish band Shinobu have been around for 2 years now and this is their second full length I think? I don't know, I'm guessing."
-readjunk.com

PRETTY CLOSE!

"Shinobu est arrivé comme ça, par un dimanche matin pluvieux, à venir mettre sa petite touche californienne dans mes haut-parleurs. Âme et esprit indie rock sont au rendez-vous sur Worstward, Ho! , premier opus plus sérieux de ce groupe, possédant déjà deux autres albums derrière la cravate."
-punkmeup.com

SACREBLEU!

In the end, it just doesn’t add up and makes for not only a disappointing listen, but a fairly annoying one at that.
-Razorcake

A GREAT REVIEW OF OUR NONEXISTENT ALBUM: "WESTWARD, HO!"!

There are no pimpin’ rap tracks on this CD. As a matter of fact, sometimes they sound like hippies!
-bigwheelmag.com

...FAIR ENOUGH!

We're also involved in lots of other bands and crap, you can find out more about them at Phat 'n' Phunky.

V For Vendetta had some really good explosions, and WHY doesn't Matt like Charles Dickens?!

Dear Shinobu,

Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull." We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents "conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago." Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the "Malibu Barbie".

It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin:

1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone.

2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-hominids.

3. The dentition pattern evident on the "skull" is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the "ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams" you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that:

A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on.

B. Clams don't have teeth.

cause we can't afford space time transportation yet, once it FINALLY replaces gasoline, we'll get there and play some rock and/ or roll with you.

I hope all is well, I miss you dearly and to compensate I listen to your record often.
