The Shocking and Stunning
The Shocking and Stunning are Jack Hooker (synths/sampler/effects) and Sam Lovrich-FitzPatrick (drums). Described by Martyn Pepperell in VanguardRed Magazine as “emotive, physically propulsive and above all, f***ing epic”, they combine densely layered synths and heavy live drums to build up and tear down walls of sound.
“Two members, a synth, a sampler and a drum kit make noises so earth moving and hypnotic they leave you in a trance long after the music has stopped.”
- The Corner
"To hear The Shocking and Stunning play live is to witness the awesome energy they can generate with the most basic setups. Their intoxicating, trance-inducing formula combines Jack's wall of synths with Sam's frantic drumming, ingredients enhanced by their liberal use of musical effects.’
- Sam Wicks, The Red Bulletin.
"In a dystopian future, when cosmopolitan cities are reduced to scorching ruins and deserted landscapes, The Shocking and Stunning's discography will be the soundtrack of the last battle cry of outnumbered benign rebels fighting against mutants, zombies, cyborgs and aliens."
- James Manning, Gather and Hunt Magazine
