There’s something very familiar about Shinobi’s Tape No. 1, something that makes me feel super nostalgic as memories of late 80’s and early-mid 90’s grunge and alt-rock seep into my mind as the first song, New Wave, starts. I may not be the best person to review this demo, but each song is super catchy and I found myself humming along to Johnny’s vocals throughout the majority of it. While the songs are catchy, there is definitely sprinkles of heaviness, guitar feedback and punchy, punishing drums scattered about in each song (Ala Quicksand). The demo itself consists of 3 songs: New Wave, Ripoff and Bullet from a Gun. Out of the three, Ripoff is my favorite as it hits hard and never lets up. If you feel like listening to something that’s very different, something that sets itself apart from a lot of the other bands around the Philadelphia and Central New Jersey area, then definitely check out Shinobi’s Tape No. 1.--- 4/5 – definitely worth a download, would jam in my car.
