90's music
Zen-La-Rock is back to Jack UR Body
Zen-La-Rock is overly fascinated with 80′s hip hop and new jack swing. They actually go as far and recreate famous videos from the era in their video “NEW JACK UR BODY.” These are videos I grew up on by artists Boys II Men, ABC, Bobby Brown, MC Hammer, Bel Biv Devoe and more. It’s nostalgic, [...]
Brandnew Sun 88 “ハイイロのソラ” PV
Wow. These dudes from Brandnew Sun 88 have this techno, Depeche Mode thing going on in the single “ハイイロのソラ.” It’s like a mix of 80′s pop with 90′s techno. Some of the lyrics also remind me of Wham! for some reason. This single is out 12.7.2011 and CDJapan and Yesasia have it! Check Brandnew Sun [...]
RIZE covers Nirvana’s Heart shaped box
The folks at RIZE’s youtube page threw up a live performance video of RIZE covering Nirvana’a “Heart shaped box.” I would say that it’s a pretty faithful cover song. Pretty fucking good actually. RIZE up over at their official website for more.
Jack Rabbitz- Let’s Party PV
I have to admit.. even I like songs with wack lyrics. “Let’s Party” is the epitome of generic rhymes like but with great production. Give it up to Cherry Brown to take something that sounds like early 90′s C&C Music Factory and make it sound good. You can try to resist getting your ass on [...]
highered-girl -Bloody Saturday Morning PV
Highered-girl makes me wish every morning could be a Bloody Saturday Morning. It’s one thing to compare a band to Nirvana or the Pixies, but the rawness of highered-girl screetches of In Utero Nirvana. This is 90′s alt-rock at its best. I guess this song is on a second demo the band released ??? when? [...]
AMWE -GIRLS AND BOYS Full PV
Are you ready for the Full “Girls and Boys” Blur cover song by AMWE? This is 80′s new wave, full on synth pop. The original Blur song was already a throw back when it was released in the 90′s. Now in 2010, AMWE has made the track a full out dance single. The new album [...]
Miss Monday- The Light short version
Must be snippet Tuesday.. as For life Music has put up the short clip of The Light (which they are calling a 90′s hip hop remix) featuring KJ from Dragon Ash, Naotaro Moriyama, and PES from RIP SLYME. Lots of horns and pianos, but the song is nice. Miss Monday’s new album Beautiful is out [...]
Emily Lettuce -Color Voice PV
After hearing all of Emily Lettuce’s single “Color Voice”, I gotta say I feel a Supergrass kinda of vibe from the band. This is some eerily good “britpop” sounding j-rock. The first PV for Color Voice is really just a performance video, with the lead vocalist singing in the back of a van, but the [...]
Momoyama restaurant shoutout
Just wanted to give a shoutout to Momoyama’s Japanese Restaurant in Durham, NC outside of Southpoint Mall. What a wonderful find of a sushi joint. A very unassuming small restaurant, but Japanese family owned with excellent food. The owners were very nice. Menus are in Japanese and in English. They sell Ramune and the kicker [...]
Bremen cover Garbage
Just a very quick post about electro pop band Bremen. They are releasing a new single on April 21st, 2010 through itunes. This 4 track CD will include a cover of Garbage’s “When I grow up”. Great song from an excellent band. Other songs are Freeway, Superstar and Phantom of a Dream. Wanna hear a [...]
