Search - Sadaharu :: Resist. Revolt. Reclaim.

Before rock and roll was cool again, before beards were the new uniform for "underground" bands, and before Justin Timberlake was "bringing sexy back", four men from quiet little Lancaster Pennsylvania were writing songs that fused their myriad influences with the straightforward energy of good old-fashioned rock and roll and imploring puzzled audiences nationwide to "get sexy". 7 years, 400 shows, a dozen tours, 4 releases, and a revolving cast of 2nd guitarists into their existence, SADAHARU have shown no sign of stagnating. Rather, the band is back with their third full-length, and easily their most complete and intriguing effort to date. Sonically, SADAHARU continue to baffle the listener, decimating genre boundaries to create a sound that is familiar and yet obtuse. Upon listening, one is immediately struck by the notion that it is impossible to discern if these songs are off-kilter post-everything rock songs disguised as pop-songs, or if its the other way around. Sure, there are tangential elements that exist as the cornerstone of some of their contemporaries, but the end result is something else entirely. Imagine MASTODON covering BLOC PARTY, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE covering TV ON THE RADIO, or FUGAZI covering BLACK SABBATH, and you may be in the right ballpark. Strikingly complex, yet immediately accessible, Resist. Revolt. Reclaim. is easily SADAHARUÃ"s most cohesive and evolved work to date, and just may be your new favorite record.
