Daikaiju – Daikaiju
Daikaiju actually means “giant monster”, which is fitting for this Alabama surf rock group. Their worship of Japanese monster movies definitely has affected their sound, giving it a more epic, kitschy sound. I love surf rock, though I struggle to find quality material, other than the essentials. I also happen to love Japanese monster movies, so finding Daikaiju was a blessing! Beneath the mysterious masks the members don, beneath the outlandish monikers they use, this is an excellent debut from a talented band, making high-impact surf rock for sci-fi nerds. If this sounds appealing, GET THIS. If this does not sound appealing, go watch Godzilla then GET THIS.
