Bassist, Indian rock goddess Surekha "Rex" Zwenaju, and long time guitar guru Harry Martin, have joined forces to create an album that exudes their love of dark music, dry English humor and impish mayhem. The self-entitled album combines goth and punk rock, with the occasional hint of 80s, classic rock, and eastern music. Influences are as diverse as Rob Zombie, the Doors, Social Distortion, and Ravi Shankar. The result is a dark vision of music which is at one time tender, insightful, and sentimental, while at other times showing a sharp wit, sarcasm, and dry humor, forming the heavy head banging, foot stomping, yet fun and hips rolling mosh that is the foundation of Kaniget.
What are others saying about "Kaniget"?
From "Music Morsels" ALBUM CAPSULES by Mark Waterbury Vice President - Media Relations Surgeland Records
L.A.’s Kaniget have resurrected the ghost of Jim Morrison and taken him to a Velvet Underground concert, creating a retro but fresh psychedelic trip. The obvious Doors/VU influences are given a more ethereal, eerie vibe, with touches of 80’s era Midwest punk, new age ambiance, and subtle goth throb. When you weave this with tortured, emotive vocals and quietly insane guitar work, the result is music with a strange sort of brilliance.
From SpaceJunkies Magazine by Anthony Lustmord
The band plays a style much like early 80s gloom and doom punk, the bands My Bloody Valentine, Nephlim, and even a little Christian Death come to mind. Overall this is honest, melodic, yet haunting music that is well arranged, and produced.
Review by Laura Turner Lynch for Kweevak.com
Kaniget means knight and is also a satirical twist on the type of music this four person band plays. Kaniget’s sound is dark rock, blending goth, punk rock, 80’s with a dash of middle eastern music. They cite a wide range of influences from The Beatles to Social Distortion. Song topics span from sarcastic to sentimental. Their self-titled, ten-track CD is sinister with anguished arrangements and lyrics often executed by a pained vocalist. The songs cover a diverse range of subjects but stick to a dark theme with glimmers of humor and wit. Kaniget is original, carrying on the tradition of goth through intricate performances of compelling songs.
