The Bawdies -Hot Dog PV
The Bawdies are a happy lot in their new “Built Ford Tough” video for “Hot Dog”, currently their second major single on sale 3/17/2010. Preorder it from yesasia.com now. Now I gotta say I’m not a fan of the video. It is a completely overdone Font-tastic wordfest that I see too much of it those [...]
Danko Jones hits Below the Belt
I am more than pleased to start the day with some Balls to the Wall rock info from the one and only Canadian group Danko Jones. Danko Jones’ new album Below the Belt is set to come out in May 2010. They are on tour and their dates are on their myspace page. They will [...]
RiceRiot teases you 8-bit RPG style
RiceRiot has released a teaser commercial in classic 8-bit RPG form to promote the single Koredaa! available next week on March 3rd, 2010. It’s at a good price too from yesasia.com I gotta say that this is funny stuff. These guys are characters outright, so expect some light-hearted music. Rather than give too much away, [...]
Corpsnail- Moonbase-Theatre 1st full album
Corpsnail is a very noise band from Beastworks. I really dig garage sounding guitars and unrefined rock, and they have something going on here. The lead singer scares me though. Haguri (I think that is his name) looks like he is in on a joke that no one else knows about and mumbles along through [...]
S.R.S.- Across the Mindset out March 3rd
I’ve wanted to post about S.R.S., but I wanted more content than just to check out their myspace page. Well looks like Toy’s Factory has added the short version of S.R.S.’s video for 風向き and we get some train action! S.R.S. is releasing their full album Across the Mindset out on March 3rd, 2010 and [...]
Jasmine- This is not a game PV
OK. I just saw the video for Jasmine’s “This is not a game.” Wow. Whoever realized that merry-go-rounds were basically just stripper poles with horses is a genius. This video has a lot going for it. Jasmine in a devilishly horny red outfit and dancers on stripper poles on a merry-go-round. Brilliant I say! The [...]
Tokyo No. 1 Soul Set Loves Bel Biv Devoe
You probably know that Tokyo No. 1 Soul Set has a Best of album out this week. You can buy Best Set from CDJapan right now if you want. But you might not catch the Bel Biv Devoe love found in their song “Stardust” highlighted above. Stardust uses a sample from the infamous Bel Biv [...]
Asian Kung-Fu Generation theme song for Solanin
The live-action version of the Solanin manga is coming to theaters in April 2010. A movie that interweaves music, performing and life wouldn’t be complete without a song from Asian Kung-Fu Generation. AKFG are a gateway to J-rock for many folks, and for good reason. They are literally one of the best J-rock bands around. [...]
Ohashi Trio mini album Fake Book
Ohashi Trio really is a great overall artist. It wasn’t long after his last album that he has already released a new mini-album Fake Book which is a collection of cover songs and they are AWESOME! The first song 贈る言葉 is just a very very pretty song and the PV has just be released. The [...]
Abstract Mash- Save the World
I’ll be honest, this new song “Save the World” by Abstract Mash is one of those simple rock songs that ends up getting HUGE play. It sounds like a DAUGHTRY song and guess what. I like Daughtry. There I said it. I think pop rock songs can be great, and it usually revolves around the [...]
