Reviewers have compared us to Minutemen, Bells on Trike, Native Nod, North of America, Kurt, Unwound, The Spirit Assembly, City of Caterpillar, The Hal Al Shedad and Fugazi. And no, we didn't pay them money to do so.
"Disassembling the early Unwound/Touch and Go jigsaw puzzle with their bare teeth, Shokei seem to transcend such borders and brandish their own urgent, dischordant mess upon the masses. Song after song, you are served a melodic hammer to the head until you are too dizzy to deny them. Their live shows an aural onslaught, their sometimes moustaches unrivaled, their drink holding apparatus unmatched. Music for the thinking man and the felon arsonist, all wrapped in one." Steven L. Chamberlain, a fan.
