Sometimes
music needs all of these many smaller points to come together to form the
bigger picture and create something new.
If you think about how long music has existed and how much of it has
already been accomplished, sure taking different pieces and fitting them
together is the best way to create something new. But, other times, it isn’t all that
complicated, like how a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup can simply be chocolate and
peanut butter and delicious.
This
is garage punk. The music can get
pretty heavy, but it channels that bit of Hunx, The Living End and High Pop
that can give Assault Shaker their own legs to stand on without straying too
far from the notion of simply rocking out.
There
are also bits of The Clash in here, and at times this does become distorted
like Local H, but realistically, these are all just names of bands and even
though they have differences they are all in some ways the same—much more
similar than, say, if I was to throw in a name like Aerosmith for instance.
It
is in this way and by this example that Assault Shaker also rocks fast and
heavy. Put this one on in your car and
drive real, real fast.
