Samehada Shiriko & Dynamite – Newretrock

SAMEHADA SHIRIKO & DYNAMITE are from Fukuoka, Japan and have played together since 2013 now, ever since released three albums and played countless explosive live-shows. The group around dynamic and beautiful singer and guitarist Shiriko, mad lead guitarist Abbey, stylish bassist Wetton and classy drummer Massiveeffect have an intense stage presence combining retro- and modern style in a fun and crazy way. Their third album Newretrock is just that - powerful retro-rock which is refreshingly new at the same time. The LP was previously released as CD (Sazanami Records) and contains 12 songs, including a coverversion of a band-favourite, Dangerous Saturday (originally by Japanese girl-group The Candies from the 70s) among 11 originals. It is covered in a pretty artwork, somewhat influenced by classy 60s and psychedelia. Be enchanted by the Enchanting Newretro World , rock and boogie along to Old House Boogie , shout along with That Girl's Shout and finally get overwhelmed by Samehada Typhoon . Samehada Shiriko & Dynamite have a highly unique, very Japanese, slightly crazy sound one can hardly compare with others, yet it is somewhere in between nostalgic Japanese Group-sounds, 80's- Mentai-Rock and Girl-Garage-Punk with a few 70's- and hardrock-influences here and there certainly one of a kind!
