"I am so scared of this...but that's good." - Bob Ezrin
“Think
a 3 piece Mr. Bungle with Patton’s vocals taking a turn for the better,
add some laser beams and dreads, turn it all up to eleven, stand the
fuck back and enjoy." - Ground Report , NYC
“Pay
attention Canadian recording industry, Ninjaspy is on the rise and the
people’s salvation is at hand.” -Absolute Underground Magazine
“Soaring
vocal harmonies are there one minute and replaced with a throaty growl
the next. “Pure Sketch” is a sure-fire modern rock radio hit, as the
post-grunge frame work gets stirred up into a tasty seventies inspired
soul/funk soup”. - Metal-Rules.com
"Bloody well are
entertaining. All dreadlocks and fricking samurai swords, giant pants
and flying limbs. Not a speck of the stage was left untouched by this
band’s chaotic feet." - Cord Magazine
"The album itself
is a blend of Hardcore, Punk, Ska, Rock & Metal, a recipe for
brilliance. I urge everyone to check out this band, you may just
re-evaluate your existence" - Infinitybasement
About:
Ninjaspy
arose with the dawn of the year of six, embodied by the Triad in Blood:
Vocalist/Guitarist Joel Parent, Drummer Adam Parent and Bassist Tim
Parent. Rising above the mire of their faceless six year muse, they have
focused their sights on the mission objectives now at hand: Swift,
surgical amalgamation of a spectrum of styles and the subsequent
eradication of narrow mindedness. Advocating total
freedom of expression and infiltrating every earthen sinew in their
chosen path in order to stay grounded and facilitate real connections
with others; interactions that are crucial for a meaningful human
existence. In correlation with a commitment to people before all else,
support for Ninjaspy has grown with every show, every tour and every
industry contact. With the
help of prolific producers, GGGarth Richardson and Ben Kaplan, they
entered the next level of their career, releasing their debut cd πature
(Pi Nature) in the fall of 2007. Ever reworking new ideas to their
utmost potential, 2013 saw the release of the follow-up multi-media
EP/Graphic Novella "NINJASPY NO KATA" with production by the same team
of producers. Equipped and,
indeed, armed with their own musical weaponry, (a derivation of
hardcore, ska, grunge, reggae, funk and more) Ninjaspy aim to engage
people with radical ideas on a level plane. And above all else, to
reiterate to people over and again, the importance of victory in the
eternal conflict with the skank; the vicious and relentless evil that
lives in every human being. The skank that is overcome each time
Ninjaspy has the honour of sharing their crafts with people in a live
environment, where dancing destroys the enemy. The enemy whose defeat is
apparent as one witnesses the total freedom felt at every show by the
people in the pit who rise up to throw the skank down.
