Bio:
HOUSE OF SHAKIRA is a Swedish rock band formed in Stockholm around 1991. HOUSE OF SHAKIRA carry a unique sound that stands out among other bands in the same genre. The band's motto is "Try every idea with an open mind". This means that every member of the band contributes their personal musical ideas making the lyrics, rythmical patterns, chord changes and melodies special. HOUSE OF SHAKIRA consists of five very different personalities that really only have one thing in common - to write and perform great songs. A good song is the key to make the band function; style or sound doesn't matter if the written material is poor. HOUSE OF SHAKIRA produces melodic rock of the very highest quality due to a constant mixing of hard rock with several other musical styles - the vocals soar, the melodies rise and the guitars bring it all together. All these components makes listening to HOUSE OF SHAKIRAs music a sensational experience. Because of the diversity of the lyrics and the music, HOUSE OF SHAKIRA does not fall under your typical hardrock classification; they find a wider musically interested audience and fan community.There is a special story behind the naming of the band. At the start the band was called " The Station". Then a swedish record company thought that the name sounded too much like their own (The Record Station), so the band unanimously decided to drop the name. A couple of weeks later their demo was reviewed in a German music magazine saying that "this is a great band, but at the moment they don't have a name". The magazine arranged a kind of contest for their readers to name this excellent, nameless band. One of the readers in England, Geoff Noddings entered the contest and suggested the name of " HOUSE OF SHAKIRA ". In 1991 newspapers in England wrote about a boutique in London called "The House of Shakira". Using the selling of clothes in the boutique as a cover, this store actually offered and sold a very different commodity. The House of Shakira was in fact a bordello. Today the band uses the name as a metaphor for something that is not what it seems to be. HOUSE OF SHAKIRAs debut "Lint"(bluestone) hit the stores in 1997 and was nominated best debut album by magazines and e-zines all over Europe. Some magazines went even further in their praises of the band and put " Lint "up on the "top-ten list" of debut albums ever. Shortly after the release of "Lint" HOUSE OF SHAKIRA went on tour through Europe as an opening act for Royal Hunt. They continued to England and played the Gods festival where "they set the standard for the day which was never bettered".Such has been the standard of the HOUSE OF SHAKIRA story - great reviews, hard work and lots of laughter. The band has been around for fifteen years now and the members are still creative and push themselves to write the best songs in rock n' roll today.
Album:
Swedish rockers, House of Shakira will release their album Pay to Play on Sept. 23 on CD. On Oct. 7 the album will be available through digital outlets. This is the second album with lead singer Andreas Novak. It is supposed to be their best album by far, and it certainly does not disappoint.The band chose MelodicRock Records because they wanted to be a priority. This album is sure to bring the deserved attention for the band as well as the label. House of Shakira is not new by any means. With 22 years of history, the band has released six studio albums. They are thought of as one of Sweden’s best known musicians.The trends have rock have been a rough journey for many artists who have been around as long as House of Shakira, but they have survived. The album begins with the title track, “Pay to Play,” which sets the tone. It is energetic but still classic. The sound of a bottle popping and the background noise of the restaurant set the mood for what this album wants to do. The band belts out that they are still here and they aren’t leaving rock and roll.There is a call to action feeling of each track. Most of the songs are upbeat and fun, and that makes you want to bang your head and tap your foot. “Draw the Line” has very good riffs and such an anthem-like sound with the combination of the members singing the lyrics. “Dog Eat Dog” is another amazing track that makes you instantly want to sing along. The riff catches your attention, and then, the song continues to build to keep your appeal. The “hey, hey, hey, hey” within the lyrics keep the buoyant sound alive by making you want to thrust a fist into the air as you sing along.“Talk of the Town” starts out with a higher pitch of voices singing, and there is an initial riff that gets more and more intense as the song plays on. The voices lose the higher pitch and the attitude of the song sets in. It continues to give the album the attraction that has been expected by this expert band.Overall, each song does the album justice. There is not a song that doesn’t disappoint the classic rock roots or the new sounds you hear today. There is something enjoyable on this album for everyone. The sound is right, the instruments provide the right amount of balance, and the lyrics are amusing and fit well in combination. This is definitely a recommended album.
