We make no secret of the fact that we’re big fans of Don Giovanni Records, the label’s leaders Joe and Zach, and the outstanding music they release. At this year’s DGR showcase, the label celebrated their 10th anniversary and spurred the reunion of one of New Brunswick’s legendary punk bands. Stormshadow released only one album Set On Destroy on CD-R and sold it at their shows. On the very day the band played their first show in over a decade at Music Hall of Williamsburg, Don Giovanni gave their album a proper release. At Music Hall, the band played 9 songs from the album in a twelve-song twenty-five minute set that went all too quickly. Stormshadow is one of those Minutemen-styled punk bands that is intelligent, energetic and able to effortlessly meld genres. The wrinkle in their sound is the male-female vocals which gives them a three-dimensional sound. Perhaps motivated by the success of this set, Stormshadow will now be playing more shows, including one on March 30 at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick.
I recorded this set in the same manner as the other sets from this night and the sound is superb. Enjoy!
