Merzbow

Merzbow is an experimental music project created in Tokyo in 1979 under the direction of musician Masami Akita. A household name in the world of experimental noise, Akita has released/produced over 200 records since 1980. Links to the few releases that I do have are down below. Enjoy.


EDIT: turns out I've just one release, entitled 1930.

Japandroids

"Japandroids (JPNDRDS) are a two piece band from Vancouver, BC. This ‘band’ started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage [HOW THE FUCK CAN IT BE POST-TEENAGE IF THEY’RE POST-NOTHING] angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Originally intended to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a ‘lead singer’ and do it themselves. As a consequence, Japandroids were/are/will be 1 guitar, 1 set of drums, and 2 vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don’t care what you call it, as long as it’s not minimal. Japandroids are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band."

Couldn't have said it better myself. Here's their latest, Post-Nothing.

A bloomin' shame

I haven't post any melt-banana so far, have I? Or maybe I have. No, I definitely haven't posted anything by Melt-banana, which is a damn shame, seeing as, in my eyes, this band fulfills my definition of "awesome" quite accurately. This Japanese noise-rock band releases material that is probably influenced by a melange of noise-rock, newave and a splash of post-punk. I found this release a few days ago and it has been on constant rotation in my music library. Good stuff.
