Japanese Punk
 

I'm not too fond of Japanese punk bands but there are quite a number that are really great (to my surprise)

The Comes
Conga Fury
Corrupted
Dance Macabre
Gagize
M78
Sprocket Wheel
Sherbert
Hi-Standard
Shonen Knife
the Boredoms
Gism
Gauze
The Willard
Bleach (I believe the vocalist is a chick)
Mad 3
Super Junky Monkey
Triceratops
Wakusei
Lulu's marble
The Michelle Gun Elephant (I don't care for these guys too much)
Milk Crown (they are amazing)
Missile Girl Shoot
Mong Hang
Mono
Mummy the Peepshow
Papaya paranoia
The Portugal Japan
Rocket Jack vaders
The Rodeo Carburettor
Ron Ron Clou

and those are the only ones I can think of at the moment. You'd be surprised but a lot of these bands are/were influenced by American bands like Weezer and Green Day (back when their music wasn't sh*t)

Japan did have some good hardcore in the mid 80s, my favourite being The Stalin.

Stalin was ok.

But I can honestly say that a lot of the newer bands of today are way better than Stalin/

Mono is post-rock and Boredoms is noise rock, lolz. I don't know most on that list but I have a feeling Raine doesn't either. Anyway I like 1000 Travels of Jawaharlal and Gauze.

But most of the bands are punk. Hell a good majority are. Cut me a little slack since I looked at the titles on my comp and went with the genres i tunes listed them as.

I like wakusei there good[and i like there name]

Melt banana FTW

add to that OOIOO

i'd really appreciate any more juno reactor anyone here could send me, just downloaded conga fury and really liked it but they're hard to find songs by...

Or cut and pasted them off some internet list to look cool.

Envy ftw.

This thread loses points for not mentioning Guitar Wolf

well there we are it's mentioned, *goes to download out of pure curiosity*

Ooh yes, now i see what you mean, they're better than the majority of the other stuff i downloaded.

You should get their cover of the Stones Satisfaction.
Never fails to make me smile

i'm off now but any chance you could PM me it, yes, i do post on forums for the sole purpose of scrubbing music off unsuspecting victims in my PM box....

japan is great for noise rock with the boredoms and melt-banana being very good. as for punk, havent really heard any..ever.

The boredoms....er.....well.....bored me. .........>.>......<.<....

I think one of the members died recently. They (the other two remaning members) just released some sorta best of album and a live dvd f some sort.

in any event I don't really care for them. yeah I like them and their a lot of their music but I think they're overrated. Yes they're rather influential but still a tad overrated.

Envy is the ****.

do any of you guy know the muffin man??

seriously

Seriously broseph, you make this thread with no Melt Banana, Envy, Balzac, **** on the Beach, or Insane Youth and you look like you don't know what you're talking about.
