Ron had actually popped his head in at a show. Actually, we were in the middle of supporting the ‘Shine’ record. What about the Mascot Label Group (MLG) made you decide to go the label route for ‘Smokin’ Hearts & Broken Guns’? Up until now you’ve had a DIY philosophy & done fairly well without label support. LRI: Shaman’s Harvest first album came out in 1999. We’ve never had this much press ever for a record we’ve ever done but it’s hard to get anybody to usually give a shit about anything we ever do so it’s been nice man. LRI: You are a week away from the album’s release and you’ve been out doing a lot of shaking hands & kissing babies with various media outlets, how has the reaction been so far? Now I am back at it and started rehearsals today. Louis for ‘Dangerous’ than I took a few days off and did a little float trip & did some camping. LRI: Are you still in New York City gearing up for the album release or are you back home? I was like “let’s see what this is about!” It wasn’t long into the first song and I thought “Holy shit, I digg this!” Most modern rock bands bore me because of their cookie-cutter approach to songwriting and their lack of musicianship but you guys are different! LRI: I got the advance in the mail and took it home & threw it in the home stereo as I hate listening to music on a computer. NH: Not too bad, I appreciate the honest review the other day! Nathan Hunt: I’m good, just got out of rehearsal. Legendary Rock Interviews: Thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this interview! How are you today? Don’t be as late to the party as I was or you might miss out because these cats prove Gene Simmons wrong & show everyone that Rock IS NOT Dead!!! I think people will accept the diversity from song to song whether it’s a riff rock vibe like ‘Here It Comes’ or it’s a darker, emotional anthem such as ‘Ten Million Voices’ without categorizing Shaman’s.” The sky is the limit for this exceptionally talented group from Jefferson City, Missouri. As Nathan stated in their record company bio “Whether they’re driving down the highway, at work, or doin’ the nasty, these songs should be the soundtrack. The first single ‘Dangerous’ is on the verge of charting and a video for the tune will debut in the next week. This upcoming Tuesday, September 16th will see the release of their fifth studio album, ‘Smokin’ Hearts & Broken Guns.’ It is their first released through Mascot Label Group. I caught up with Lead Singer Nathan Hunt this week for an interview that felt more like shootin’ the breeze with an old friend at the neighborhood tavern. In this day and age of Modern Rock bands that seem to be cloned from third rate Nickelback or Breaking Benjamin wannabes, Shaman’s Harvest stand apart from the genre thanks to great songwriting and musicianship.
