I'm curious if they're good

[Pirate Utopian]

They are pretty good.

I have one of their albums on my computer but I never gave it a thorough listen

[Sam_b]

They're alright. When it comes to Japanese punky-ish kinda stuff I can never really see past Shonen Knife.

[communard resolution]

They're very good, but for even better Japanese punk rock check out Teengenerate, a 90s no-fi trash punk band from Tokyo.

[Pirate Utopian]

Since were also recommending other punkbands, I quite like Guitar Wolf.

I interviewed them for a fanzine I was doing, but they hardly spoke any English. So they simply replied "yes" or "yes, we like" to every question...

[Pirate Utopian]

Cool stuff.
We're you in Japan or were they where you live?

[communard resolution]

Naah, they were touring through my parts.

Interview excerpt -

Q: How has your tour been going so far?

A: Yes.

Q: So I take it it's been going well?

A: We like Johnny Thunders.

[Pirate Utopian]

Wow I like Johnny Thunders too.
Damn, me and that guy could be brothers.

When was this?

[communard resolution]

I think 1999.

[Fawkes]

Ska Ska Club is a sick Japanese ska-punk band.

[communard resolution]

Ska-punk is usually annoying as fuck, but since they're Japanese I think I might give them a go.

[Louis Pio]

Good band, but as Nero said Teengenerate are better.
Have 2 The Stalin albums on mp3, never understood any of their texts but the tracks names in english kinda gives it away

I could link you to the torrent if you want.

I could link you to the torrent if you want.

Sure, why not? Thanks.

[Fawkes]

Sure, why not? Thanks.

No problem. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YEFGAK80 They have a bit of a pop touch to them, which I'm not a fan of, but they aren't bad, considering I got the album for free.
