So fast, their three minute songs last ninety seconds. http://theeebat.fool.jp/ MEAN BIKINI London all female punk-garage/new wave quartet. "The energy and attitude in these five songs are pretty definitely punk. This band of young women from the UK sound like a Japanese girl power-pop group like Thee 50s High Teens. Yes, the demos are raw, but they are also enough to know that this band could do some really interesting things down the road." - Incognito Magazine http://meanbikini.bandcamp.com/ UMEZ A brand-new Japanese avant-garde band based in London featuring curent and former members of Bo Ningen, Screaming Tea Party and No Cars. Their sound contains two completely opposite side of music genres, noise and pop. Although they're two opposite music genres, their noise sound is purely heavy white noise meaning it matches perfectly with their pop sound reminding you the sorrow you feel in the end of the summer. Also, they've already supported a few influential artists such as Damo Suzuki (ex. Can) and Dee Dee (Dum Dum Girls) despite their short activity. http://umez.bandcamp.com/ BRAIN WASHINGTON ... play rocket-fuelled cartoon space rock; like Sonic Youth being in Banana Splits. 'a primitive wah-wah laden sonic flashback liberally festooned with all manner of tripping psyche-induced beatnik boogie and insidiously touched by a general coming-apart-at-the-seams charm' - Losing Today www.facebook.com/brainwashington666 |
