Have I heard of this artist? No
Average RYM Score: 3.20
I suppose you have to admire a band (well, their manager/corporate director) who takes a name which is an acronym for Brand New Idol Shit, and maybe this is an attempt to break out of the often restricted scope, the near stranglehold exercised upon “Idol” groups in Japan, Korea and elsewhere. Or, maybe the EP will live up to the last word in the band's name. Either way, it's short, only five tracks, so it'll go by quickly at least. Meh, it has energy but it's essentially just sped-up K-pop (or J-pop I guess) as far as I can see. I had hoped for dirtier, angrier, more different. Ah well.
