The immediate answers to “what is Adebisi Shank?” are easy. Adebisi Shank is experimental post-rock band from Dublin, Ireland consisting of three guys named Vinny, Mick, and Lar. They have two albums out–the latest of which was appropriately entitled This is the Second Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank released August 2010–and have recently signed to American label Sargent House.
Exactly what Adebisi Shank is from there is much more difficult to say. Utilizing guitar, bass, and drums along with a barrage of audio manipulation they create an epic rock soundscape that is both punishing and beautiful. At times you may feel like your mind is being sent through some strange pixelation process, but don’t worry it’s a good thing. Listen to tracks “International Dreambeat” and “Genki Shank” below, which are both available for free download on their bandcamp site HERE.
