My friends in the Japanese punk band DOING LIFE asked me to help spread the word about their plans to join the Festival Envol et Macadam. You can check out all the Japanese bands at the link below. If you like 'em, vote for DOING LIFE (once a day, even)!

DOING LIFE are kinda lumped into the hardcore scene in Japan but their sound owes more the the Clash and some tunes even approach Stray Cats punkabilly. They've appeared on the Meltdown comp feat. NYC and Japanese hardcore/punk bands. They toured the west coast and more recently played with Australia's garage punk band Sons of Lee Marvin. Take a listen s'il vous plait:
