Spring 2008 saw the release of Shokazoba's 1 st studio effort. Recorded in 2 days (July 5 - 6 2007) and Mixed by Clinton Vadnais (Cleantones@gmail.com). The debut album features 4 songs and clocks in at around 43 minutes. The sound on "Think Like a Hammer" is much different from modern day Shokazoba, but captures a piece of history that we are still proud of today.
"Think Like a Hammer" is available as an entire album or individual tracks on Itunes, Amazon, Napster, and other fine music retailers.
