SHUVEL这个乐队的风格就像'LIMP BIZKIT''Rage Against The Machine''311''linkin park'说白了就是说唱金属，或者叫做新金属。那四个乐队我想大家没有不认识的了，可是对SHUVEL也许大家就不甚了解了，他们在中国的名气并不大，但是听过他个人们都不会忘记他们，这个味道很正的新金。他们的唯一专集就好像是地下发行的，并没有在中国广泛的流传开来，这也有可能是他们只有2000年这一张CD的缘故，那会中国主流媒体还没有把说唱金属炒热呢，他们就已经草草收场了。如果中国的媒体在早些关注说唱金属的话我想现在大多数linkin park的歌迷会先听到他们的声音。不过这个乐队绝对是值得喜欢新金的你来欣赏的。
因为真的太少人关注他们了，我竟然没有在任何中文网站找到关于他们的介绍，所以我只能给大家帖出一些英文的简介了。如果你真的喜欢上他们了就快去上打口市场看看吧，说不定你能找到这张‘小’专集。

Few bands have used the formula of the dual lead vocalist line-up to as powerful an effect as Rap-Core upstarts SHUVEL have since their inception. There have been only two other dual vocalist bands worthy of mention in my book thus far. These two bands being Phunk Junkeez, and Shootyz Groove. SHUVEL has a lot more going on by way of sound and the use of the two vocalists in the band than these two bands put together. SHUVEL has a sound that’s very fresh, hard edge, and aggro-intense, and their thirteen song Interscope records debut SET IT OFF is justifiable proof to all the hype.
Former co-workers Isaac Ayala and Jeff Hollinger decided to form a band. First they got Jeff’s younger brother Kyle Hollinger to play drums, next they recruited guitarist Ryan Stuber from another local band, bassist Carlos Sandoval then stepped up and joined, and SHUVEL was complete. The band worked hard and after numerous jams they had a set of songs. The band cut their teeth on their local circuit and garnered equal amounts of fan devotion, and jealousy, which inspired the right-back-at-ya “Hitlist” off of SET IT OFF. It was now time for the band to take the next logical step and leave Witchita, Kansas. Vocalist Jeff Hollinger states that leaving home was a matter of taking the music seriously. The band said, “If this is what we want to do, let’s do it now. They left Kansas behind and headed west, landing themselves in Phoenix, Arizona. It was there that they played live four nights a week for six months straight before moving on to Los Angeles. SHUVEL was blowing the roof off a house party in San Pedro where they met a stripper who knew an artist relations agent from Interscope records. The stripper proved to be the hook-up the band needed and soon SHUVEL was in the studio with producer Scott Ralston laying down SET IT OFF’s thirteen stunning tracks.
SET IT OFF employs elements of hip-hop, metal guitars, challenging and insightful lyrics, and plenty of hardcore attitude to assault the listeners’ senses. When you get past the fact that vocalists Isaac Ayala and Jeff Hollinger sound similar to each other and eerily like Zack De La Rocha (well, on the beginning of the title track at least), you can get up off your ass and go off on this. I’d originally mistaken this for political rap-core because of the similarities of both these vocalists voice to that of Zack, and the political subject matter of RATM material. But upon closer listening to SET IT OFF, it’s evident that SHUVEL’s lyrics are steeped deeply in social issues and social politics, but most definitely not the government kind. Sure, there’s reference to the Columbine tragedy on the title track, but the genius of SHUVEL is to not beat the subject into the ground. They have a knack for doing this thing where the lyrics make you aware and make you think about what’s wrong with the state of the world, without boring you with pointless rants. So, if your life is lacking that excitement you so desperately crave, get your issue of SHUVEL and see what kind of trouble it inspires you to get into. You won’t be bored, I promise you that.
