Acting Hard

Captain Ahab, of Los Angeles, is Jonathan Snipes and Jim Merson. Snipes produces, records, writes and performs the music while Snipes dances. They tour with frequency and have played with a slew of interesting artists.

The rest of this press release read like it was written by a hippy William Faulkner, if you can imagine such a thing. I am not sure this is a bad thing if it is evocative of the music. It asksrhetorical questions such as “Do you love Powermetal even though it is just for thirtysomething LARPers”? or “Do you like shaking your ass to some Electro-Clash even though your neighbor scoffs because you forgot it’s called Nu-Rave now.” No, my neighbor doesn’t but then he is a 50-something Jehovah’s Witness.

I say these questions are rhetorical mainly because they do not seem to really require an answer. The band’s new album is called The End of Irony…although the release equates irony with “guilty pleasures”…And I am not sure what that means. You should read the release. Go HERE.

I am including one track provided (Acting Hard). Have a listen. Really, don’t be scared. There are more tracks on the website above. A tour is also imminent.
