Press Reviews "Taking their name from the Japanese word meaning "giant monster," this powerhouse instrumental surf-rock [quintet] hails from Huntsville, AL, where they musta been sniffing fumes from the local Space & Rocket Center when they recorded their amp-blastin' demo disc. Will they explode on the scene as a new Man or Astro-Man? The answer is buried in their Godzilla-sized waves of reverb! CLUB 513 (Nicoll)" - Creative Loafing, Atlanta, GA"This track is great stuff. From a psuedo-ska rhythym near the opening, to the psychedelic freak-outs throughout, Daikaiju really goes for it. And they get it, whatever it is. The only way these guys could write better giant monster music is if they got caught in a nuclear disaster themselves. Many thanks to the guy who suggested this track. He's really on the ball, and I hate to keep putting these tracks up (since he may want to put them up on his own), but they're just too damn neat for that.
