16 MP3 Songs
ROCK: College Rock, METAL/PUNK: Post-Punk
Details:
Having long ago established themselves as the most compelling fixture of Newcastle’s underground circuit, Shin Jin Rui finally drop ‘Zutiqua’. It’s a move that ought to bring us all one step closer to curing the headcold British garage rawk has been groaning and spluttering through in recent years.
Proof that digging deep will always reward you with a chunk of gold for your shit-covered hands, ‘Zutiqua’ is a rusting, steam-powered automaton of an album, Franken-built with the exhumed parts of every slacker that ever mattered- Malkmus, Westerberg, Richman…They’re all to be found in the thick of Rui’s sweet rawk soup. In the Pavement style meander of ‘Hollywood Listen!’ and the Lou Reed meets Bunnymen cult classic in waiting ‘Use Your Youth’, to the Replacements and Minutemen nods to be found in ‘Pre Slaughter Trial’ and ‘Foreign Cars’ they join the dots between the best of lo-fi’s now crusty heroes, and offer each a shot in the arm.
Other times the Rui sound like nothing else, like when ‘Eternity Is Loaded’ sees it’s spooked arpeggios suddenly crushed to death by a single, towering, monolithic riff. One with such primitive ferocity it sounds as though it were imported direct from a Cro-Magnon age of rocking out to the smack of bone against skull.
Full of saltily poetic tales of confusion and alienation, this is the sound of quarter-life inertia made good. The Dissillusionment of those too ‘backwards’ or bored to keep up with an ever-more acrobatic world of band-wagon hopping, harnessed, and waved like a home-made zip gun at the misery society wants you feeling the minute the first wrinkle appears.
Instead, Shin Jin Rui offer a hypodermic injection of virulent eccentricity to immunise you against today’s ever-more maddening world. A cure for garage rock’s epidemic of retro-posturing and terminal chic-ification. Listen to Zutiqua and you hear a tomahawk splat the eyeball of every glib sycophant pandering to this bullshit industry of insular, fretting cool. The first stone is cast, you’re only worry now is whether or not this record is heard enough. I hereby allow you to guiltlessly bathe your arse in this sweet rawk plentitude. Enjoy.

Something very much like The Sex Pistols rattling through a late sixties san-fran. So, hippie slouch batters punk strut and the gaps are filled with note perfect sixties pass-offs. It''s a perfect 21st century rock record. Steals from, sneers at and outdoes everyone. Wit, style, muscle, cruelty and love, whoooh woooh, you know.
Kerrang magazine
When they really push the pedal to the floor, they have the ability to impressively recreate the fuzzed-up brilliance of Bleach-era Nirvana at their most primitive, peppered with a more avante-garde flavour.
The crack magazine
...the sound of The Fall and Pavement being eaten alive by a zombie Ian Curtis while Lou Reed laughs from the sidelines.

After spinning this album several times we still can''t come up with any obvious bands whose music may have influenced these guys. Sixteen effective rockers here . Good powerful stuff...! (Rating: 4++++
“This Newcastle trio ape the prototype heavy metal of early Black Sabbath with savage, snarling results. …. a shuddering, cantankerous listen -like getting stoned and watching Jurassic Park really, really loud, or attempting to breed your pet lizard with a horny pitbull.” James Jam NME
'' would definitely belong in the ''cool as fuck'' category of your local independent record shop….'' https://www.tradebit.com
'' sinister, deranged, sinister pieces of surfer punk, more suited to stop-start Tim Burton movie than Venice Beach. SJR are a cult concern waiting to happen.'' https://www.tradebit.com
''… excellent, direct post punk that is both engaging and exhilarating. …. tips a hat to the Vaselines, the Fall, a Replacements/Hüsker Dü hybrid band that exists only in my head, Beat Happening, the Minutemen and Bleach-era Nirvana'' Narc Magazine
“Shin Jin Rui package their small-town dissatisfaction with enough originality, acumen and nonchalant cool to be one of the mainstays on the local music scene for a good while yet.'' Norven Kane, Metro
''Shin Jin Rui create a mellow backing to Fall influenced attitude, laden with elements of everything from new wave to The Ramones……such heady comparisons might make some dizzy but you suspect that these boys won''t even blink. “ https://www.tradebit.com
''SJR deliver a broken, dissonant, splintered cacophony reminiscent of Fugazi, but a little out of kilter yet coherent in a funny peculiar kind of way.…..It makes for the kind of dynamic that makes them leaders rather than followers of musical adventurism.” https://www.tradebit.com
'' ….a seamless blend of Blues, Rock, Punk and Metal '' God is in the Tv e-zine
