Daikaiju in Columbia Free-Times

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Columbia Free-Times previews Daikaiju’s show:

The quartet’s surf-rock onslaught hits like a B-movie monster (“daikaiju” loosely translates from its original Japanese to “giant monster”): Drums pound with the might of Anguirus and bass lines hit with the power of Gigan; boingy guitar riffs soar like Rodan and split in multiple directions like the hydra-headed King Ghidorah. The yin to Man or Astroman?’s yang, Daikaiju always hits at full impact characterized by muscular prog-metal riffs, percussive complexity and exotic reverb-drenched shredding. All you can do is hope to survive.

Alarm Magazine features Daikaiju

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Alarm Magazine features Daikaiju and the new single “Double Fist Attack”:

Taking the simple and expressive side of classic surf rock and mashing it face first into a stack of mathy, proggy influences, New Orleans-based Daikaiju can really work an instrumental track. The tones are all spring reverb and early-’60s Fender, and the four-piece also doesn’t skimp on the campy theatrics, taking a page from the Man or Astro-Man? book of stage presence and drawing from Japanese monster-movie tropes.

Press: Backseat Sandbar previews Daikaiju show

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Backseat Sandbar previews Daikaiju’s Louisville show:

“Daikaiju, from Huntsville, Alabama are surf rockers that give Man Or Astroman? a serious run for their money in the title of most badass surf rock. I don’t know if the technology exists to quantify the amount of reverb you’re going to be subjected to, but somehow they managed to push it to the limit and make it sound really, really good.”
