japanese punk band's?

[RABBIT - THE - CUBAN - MILITANT]

anyone know any good japanese punk bands ??... preferably speed punk . but anything really ( Oi, hardcore , etc)

[Graham_Pogo]

POGO MACHINE!

[robortion]

Would Melt Banana count?

[C_Rasmussen]

How would you be able to understand what they're saying? Unless its one of those thats translated before its released.

[Xiao Banfa]

Japanese punk rock is fuckin brilliant.
There is this band called Slang another called Exclaim and if you're into the fat wreck chords style shit you should listen to Hi-Standars.

If you like Dub/Reggae listen to Dry and Heavy. I saw them live and it's maybe the best show i've ever seen.

BANZAI!

Would Melt Banana count?

YES. That would most definitely count. They (http://www.level-plane.com/php/band_detail.php?band_id=34) are incredible. I don't have any of their cd's; I just have their 7" split with The Locust and a whole gaggle of Mp3's. Yes. They are incredible. Also, check out Envy (http://www.level-plane.com/php/band_detail.php?band_id=35). Watch out, though. There's this band called Envy that's really shitty and not Japanese (some american punk bullshit with the same name). Here's (http://www.epitonic.com/artists/envy.html) an Mp3 and some band info.

Disrupt I belive is Japanse, if thats not them then its something with a D, they are like Discharge(D-beat) but much heavier and better in my view

[commie anarchist rebel]

balzac

[ComradeRed]

Uh...Asian Kung Fu Generation, maybe? Or Cool Joke? Onmyo-Za or Sex Machineguns may be good as well, I don't know.

[Ian]

Numb

[ComradeRed]

Here's an article from Wikpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_hardcore), apparently there is a real hardcore punk movement or something.

Too bad they forgot amazing bands on that site.

[DaCuBaN]

Polysics.

It's not really Punk (they do a cover of My Sharona, and I really don't think you could class that as even punk-esque), but more Electro-punk. Well worth the listen and the stage shows are phenomenal. I've never seen so much energy!

Anything that starts with 'dis' and is incredibly crap is 99% likely to be Japanese.
