A few months ago I played a couple of tracks on the show by Sydney duo Finnoguns Wake (one of which, Blue Skies https://finnogunswake.bandcamp.com/track/blue-skies-5, ended up in the Just Some Punk Songs Top 100 of 2023 chart). I mentioned that the vocalist, Shogun, had once upon a time fronted Royal Headache (and what an awesome band they were https://royalheadache.bandcamp.com/). He was also in short lived Shogun And The Sheets (https://shogunandthesheets.bandcamp.com/album/hold-on-kid-b-w-pissing-blood).
So given my immense liking for Shogun's soulful punk voice, I was rather happy to discover he's fronting a new band called Antenna. The full line up is Shogun (vocals/keyboards), Amasaki (guitar), Mikey (bass) & Hugh (drums).
They've just released a new Self Titled 5 track ep on Urge Records and it's everything you could hope for. Fast paced punk, yep... and then there's also the final track, Antenna State which slows things down a little and allows Shogun to demonstrate his range.
You can find it on cassette or digital here : https://antennnnna.bandcamp.com/album/antenna-2
I'm sure a few of the songs will feature on the show over the next few weeks, it's a great release. Today I'm gonna highlight the opening track, it's called Cubes...
