"Deserve To Die - Demo 2015 New grindcore band from Japan. Touches of PV. I predict this band will be getting heavy radio play in 2016 and selling out the House Of Blues." [They have a surprising resemblance to Endless Demise...with way weaker vocals. --S]
"Fortitude - Resist Til Death And Resisting After Death CD (2008)
One of the best Japanese grind releases i've ever heard...this and their 7" are superb. Love this Osaka band. Shame their not more prolific. Anyone who's not heard them and is into grindcore will blow their nutsack."
"Assembrage - Demo (2012)
Only demo from Assembrage, put out about a year before their 12" "
"13th Moon - CD-Single & Witch Hunt CD (2011)
Death Rock. [Not bad...but not Bauhaus. --S]"
"Chiba Last Warrior - Compilation CD (1993)
Highly obscure and seldom seen compilation from 1993 featuring a mix of bands, some known, some lost to the mists of time. The band Parasite on this is a different one to the metal punks that people know. Scum Blast songs are different to the split 7" with Ghoza, Gestapo also feature on the Museum comp tape series and are pretty cool,although why they sing about fucking dogs is anyone's guess.They come across as a bit of a joke band really. Their songs on here are different than on those tapes also. My favourite band on this comp is probably Soltic, never heard anything else by them other than these songs though. The Beni Tsubaki songs are better than on their 7" releases, but that's not saying much."
"Clown - Deadly Drive Demo CDR
4 track demo from Nagoya City (Traditional) Hardcore outfit Clown. It don't get more Japanese than this."
"The Epidemic - 2nd Demo
3 tracks of hard edged pogo punk from Japan. Sounds like a mix of Last Survivors and The Erections."
"The Geros - Demo (2014)
[Loud traditional garage in Friction's semi-fi style, with vocals not far removed from Watch's more controlled moments. --S]
"Humongous - Thrashing Punk Attack (2002)
Good shit, I'm drunk...make your own shit up." [VERY energetic traditional Japcore that doesn't mire itself in technicality or too much metal. I actually liked it. --S]
"One River - Demo CDR (Year?)
5 track demo that sounds like it was recorded in someones bathroom. Shame, because it's pretty cool ripping hardcore. This band also had a 7" release and an appearance on the MCR compilation 'This Is The Life Volume 3'."
"EVE - 2nd Demo (2004)
5 song demo CDR recorded a couple of years prior to their release on Blood Sucker Records. Everything is in Japanese on the packaging (except the date)."
