HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
Hello goons I bring you J-rock. Shiina Ringo already got a lot of praise in this thread so I will skip that and link some songs from 2 bands that have survived on my winamp playlist since I first heard them. BUT FIRST, at request of the thread a band I found in 2016 that i liked.

8.0syoooogeki ( 0.8秒と衝撃 ) - Dual lead vocal band 1 guy 1 girl, they are like a more coherent melt banana or something like that? Very loud/hectic/thrashy. They rule.

Ok now the the 2 bands I really like. First is GO!GO!7188 , 3 person band female vocal. They are retired now but they have a pretty big discography to get lost in.

They covered a wide range of styles over the years, but a lot of their songs fall in that surf rock area. Their 4th album was a huge departure from their normal style and it feels very much like a winter theme album, always makes me think of dark, winter days when I listen to it.

Here are a few of my favorites from them:

They also own at covers, their cover albums are always great and here is one my favorite

They also own at getting covered!! After they announced their retirement they released a tribute album with a bunch of bands covering their poo poo including this k-rad polysics cover

Other bands included on the disc are Shonen Knife, MONGOL800, Detroit7, and The Neatbeats


Second band is a cool indie rock band named TSU SHI MA MI RE - 3 person all girl band

Their early stuff can be pretty weird, but they rock.

GO!GO!7188 was great in concert, I saw them twice in Japan, you can see how good they are in any of the lives uploaded to youtube. They seriously kick rear end live. Tsushimamire was also a very fun concert, they tour in the US! I saw them in a small bar after Crash Kings & The Captains, who covered a bunch of 60s songs and wore sick outfits.
