Japanese cult pop punk trio Shonen Knife celebrate their 35th Anniversary this year with a brand new album Adventure, which sees the band delving deeper in to the 70s rock leanings that they explored on their last album Overdrive. As Naoko explains; "passing through the 70s, the music genre which was born as rock 'n' roll developed to ROCK. This album is like that." Musical references include Thin Lizzy, Motorhead and Deep Purple, but of course, this is Shonen Knife, so there is still an excitable pop element to the music. There are catchy hooks and 60's girl-group inspired harmonies along the way but the album is firmly rooted in 70's Rock.
