No, not William Shatner or anything to do with him!
SHATNER is a British guitar based pop band with its roots in late 70s punk-pop, but comparisons have been drawn to a huge range of bands from the 60s to the present day. Expect layered harmonies, catchy three minute tunes, intelligent lyrics and black humour. They are from Leeds, home of the internationally successful Kaiser Chiefs, and there are some similarities.
Their 2005 debut album ''Energise'' a brought an uninterrupted stream of rave reviews. The band''s long-awaited second album THIRTEEN O''CLOCK has just been released to even wider acclaim. It was produced by Will Jackson, whose credits include the Pigeon Detectives'' number 3 UK hit album. Here''s a sample of some of those reveiews!
"Insanely catchy, densely packed, seamless pop perfection is the aim: and of the 13 songs not one misses by more than a whisker. At every level and in every department it''s a classic." Whisperin and Hollerin
“A spirited, effervescent and truly
enticing piece of work...genius.” https://www.tradebit.com
“Blackly humorous, witty, catchy, genuinely inventive,
and cleverer than the kaiser chiefs” tasty fanzine
"Stonkingly good....should stride the Earth with utter confidence" https://www.tradebit.com
“Hovers perilously over the unfashionable and dabbles with the pretentious but manages to maintain a toe-hold on healthy power pop.” Sandman magazine
"Whether you’ve experienced Shatner before or not, I recommend you check out their finest hour. It will definitely strike a chord." https://www.tradebit.com
“I was pleasantly surprised by this ” https://www.tradebit.com
"It’s really great having Shatner back, and on this type of form we’ll be seeing much more of them"
Vibrations magazine
"This is an important album, not just in the context of local music...listen and be amazed."
The Music Guru Online
"Classic guitar pop...they undoubtedly know how to write a decent tune...ambitious and multilayered."
The Leeds Guide
"This is an album whose tunes will hook into your brain until intrusive surgery is needed to dig ''em out. The weakest tracks would happily be used as singles by other bands."
Mono magazine
"Tight, atmospheric pop rock...confident arrangements. Maybe one day the kids will realise that cool is not all that cool, until then Shatner may have to make do with a few good record reviews."
https://www.tradebit.com
"Their ambition is frightening. Who else would conceive of a 13-tack concept album concerning timeless time? The truth is, no-one had the sheer Shatner knackers to at least try, and these guys pull the job off with aplomb. Amazing, but devilishly simple, catchy music; heck, it''s metronomic!"
No-Title magazine
Very well conceived, extremely well crafted and beautifully delivered... a superb piece of pop escapism that''s absolutely rammed with professionalism an overflowing with quality...I just wonder whether Shatner end up putting themselves outside the commercial loop simply by being too stylish and too maturely creative. Thirteen O''Clock'' is a real pleasure to partake by putting musical finesse, educated story-telling and contemporary poetry back into pop-rock It really is a classy piece of work and Shatner are quite clearly a pretty unique band - I love it!!
