Slow Gun Shogun is a very ambitious one-man-band project from a Chicago-based musician and journalist listed here as “AJ.” AJ comes from a punk and sludge metal background, but in Slow Gun Shogun he plays rough, raw original country. This demo comes highly recommended, especially for fans of Southern fried punk in the vein of Hellstomper or Hammerlock. Listening to these killer tracks feels like driving home from a hardcore show in Memphis, then ending up in a country bar across the border in Arkansas.
