Bio:
SHOGUN MOJO is a powerhouse rock collective uniting decades of global experience and musical innovation. Leading the charge is legendary guitarist Tommy Thayer, and Dan Reed, frontman of the acclaimed Dan Reed Network.Tommy is best known as the lead guitarist of the iconic band KISS, whose career has helped propel the group to over 100 million albums sold worldwide. Raised in Oregon and shaped by the raw energy of 1970s hard rock, Thayer honed his craft in the Portland club scene before achieving international success with Black ‘N Blue and later stepping into one of rock’s most recognizable roles with KISS in 2002. On vocals and rhythm guitar, Dan Reed brings a dynamic blend of rock, soul, and storytelling to the band. Reed’s career has included world tours supporting The Rolling Stones, RUN DMC, and Bon Jovi, and a creative evolution into filmmaking after relocating to Prague. With both Reed and Thayer spending more time together, along with their passion for creating musical and visual magic, it’s clear that SHOGUN MOJO, along with Frontiers Records, is just the beginning of something very special.Completing SHOGUN MOJO’s lineup is a rhythm section rooted in deep musical chemistry and versatility. Sweden-based drummer and producer Robert Mehmet Ikiz contributes a genre-blending approach shaped by performances in more than 60 countries, fusing jazz sensibilities with electronic textures to create a distinctive rhythmic backbone. On bass, Stockholm’s Bengan Jonasson delivers melodic, groove-driven lines forged through decades of playing across rock, reggae, jazz fusion, and Scandinavian folk traditions. A longtime collaborator of Reed and Ikiz, Jonasson’s expressive playing and compositional instincts give the band its emotional depth and cohesion. Together, these four seasoned artists form Shogun Mojo—a band where classic rock pedigree, international influences, and fearless creativity converge into a powerful and modern sonic identity.Co-Produced and Engineered by Joe Satriani protege, Geoff Tyson, and mixed by world renowned producer and artist, Rob Daiker, SHOGUN MOJO’s debut album is a rockin, funk fueled, celebration of life in an ever growing dystopian world.
Album:
Great debut full-length album.SHOGUN MOJO is the explosive new rock collective masterminded by legendary guitarist Tommy Thayer (KISS, Black ’N Blue) and acclaimed vocalist Dan Reed (Dan Reed Network), uniting decades of arena rock legacy, musical innovation and pure rock’n’roll spirit.Backed by a Sweden-based and exceptionally tight lineup featuring drummer Robert Mehmeti Kizilcay, guitarist Roger Öjersson and bassist Jake Nyman, the band delivers a debut album packed with towering hooks, driving energy and electrifying performances.Musically, SHOGUN MOJO channel the infectious melodic punch of classic late ’70s and early ’80s hard rock, blending the anthemic spirit of KISS with the soulful intensity and unmistakable swagger of Dan Reed’s vocal style. Fans of Dan Reed Network’s Slam will immediately connect with the album’s vibrant mix of massive choruses, funk-infused grooves and feel-good rock energy but with a warmer, more organic and timeless sound that recalls the golden era of analog-driven rock records.Raw, dynamic and unapologetically alive, SHOGUN MOJO’s debut is a celebration of big riffs, earworm melodies and the enduring power of classic hard rock reinvented for a new generation.
