It makes me desperately wish I understood Japanese. Whatever she's saying, she really means it.

How can such cute girls create this music?

acousticrock, did you ever check out Toddle? They're awesome as well, they're not really similiar aside from being Japanese and having amazing songs.

Highly reccomended, two of my favorite albums ever.

Downloading now.

Never heard of them, but I'm extremely biased toward Japanese bands so I'll trust you and download it.

and finally if you guys like those, check out the king of j-indie bands, NUMBER GIRL...

Enjoy, everyone, this stuff is some of my favorite music ever (definitely my favorite "rock" music), glad that people on here are digging on it.

Oh trust me, I've waded through tons of garbage and mediocre stuff, this stuff I'm posting is cream of the crop.

With Toddle, we're talking about a band where every part of every song is a hook, no riff is a throwaway, just brilliant. 3 part harmonies too!

Number Girl is just amazing.. probably in my top 5 favorite drummers in that band, interesting counter-melodic vocals and one of the best guitar tones ever, incredible songwriting.

Does skabetter remind anyone else of the Cranberries?
Sorry, I mean something hip like Cocteau Twins.

But seriously. This doesn't do it for me. But I'd probably see them if they swung through town.

Glice is nice.

ive done my share of spreading the dregs around here..man that album is so damn good.....

Well this (Mass) is amazing. I've downloaded all 3 of atsonic's links and make a CD with the demo, the s/t and the new EP on it, which is sure to get many a listen in the Slander household. Good GOOD stuff. Mega thanks.

Also, describing them as a Japanese Vivian Girls influenced by the Jesus Lizard, although obviously reductive, is kind of perfect somehow. Except so much better than that might sound.

Roll on the first full length!

She is Inside, He is Outside is STUNNING!

Haha, yeah, I just described them as that to get people interested, but honestly, it does kinda fit.

Glad you like man.

This album is so, so good. But for the love of how good the album is, enough with the Vivian Girls associations. It's insulting.

Thank you for turning me onto them, by the way. They kick ass.

Sure, but how else would I get people to check it out? "THREE GIRLS ROCKING MELODICALLY (well, 2 girls and 1 guy now...)" would get like 1 person to check it out, maybe.

Heheh.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I just wanted to say my Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs CD of the Demo/s/t EP/The World Is Yours has gotten as many plays from me in the last two months or so as pretty much anything else, because it fucking immensely rocks! Seriously just fantastic band, and anyone who missed this last times needs to rectify that. Thanks a bunch Atsonicpark!

EDIT: I mean seriously, how stupidly good is, say, Endroll? Or She Is Inside, He Is Outside? Or pretty much everything else on both EPs? Amazing.

thanks for resurrecting this thread, i've not read it and thanks adam for all the links. i will get these asap.

glad you like my friend
