Punk & Blues

[Machine Translation] Former drummer of a punk band, Shota Sakihara has been playing guitar for less than three years, but has burst onto the scene with his rough-hewn rockin' slide guitar! His debut is produced by Nakamura of More Rhythm, who has worked with W.C. Callas, Zukunashi, and others! In addition to his original songs such as "Let me sleep baby" and "Dara Dara Dara," whose lyrics are rooted in the real life of a father of two, he also performed an unprecedented slide guitar cover of the Blue Hearts' "Linda Linda Linda," which is his original punk experience, and performed "Yeah Yeah" by his beloved UK New Wave band, The Revillos. The Revillos' "Yeah Yeah" is a song he loves and loves to stomp and howl along to. While resonating with the spirituality of the blues, the ancestor of punk rock, Shota Sakihara sublimates the essence of each through his own filter, creating a style that is truly "punk & blues"!

元パンクバンドのドラマーであり、ギター暦わずか3年足らずながら粗削りなロッキン・スライドギターを駆使してシーンに躍り出た新星"崎原ショータ"! W.C.カラス、ズクナシ等を手掛けたモアリズムのナカムラプロデュースで遂にデビュー! 二児の父でもある彼の生活に根差した歌詞がリアルに響く「寝かせてベイビー」「ダラダラ」といったオリジナル曲に加え、パンクの原体験でもあるザ・ブルーハーツ「リンダ・リンダ」では前代未聞のスライドギター・カバーを披露し、敬愛するUKニューウェーブバンドThe Revillosの「Yeah Yeah」を熱いストンプと共に縦横無尽に吠えまくる。いわばパンクロックのご先祖であるブルースの精神性にしっかりと共鳴しながらも、それぞれのエッセンスを自分なりのフィルターで昇華させた崎原ショータのスタイルはまさに"パンク&ブルース"!
