WTF Is It With BiSH?
I was a massive fan of BiS and by default I suppose BiSH. I’ve written about the latter before when I reviewed their awesome first album but I’ve never really paid much attention to them on Youtube until the site began throwing random suggestions at me.
And that’s when I began to realise something. Whoever is managing BiSH is a bit weird. Why? Continue reading
Stop Everything You’re Doing And Watch This Video!!
The band are called 557232O and this song is best described as a cross between Sparks, a Salvador Dali picture, the 1970’s Charlie and the Chocolate movie and some 1960’s futuristic sci-fi TV show and is as gloriously over the top as any song about a frickin’ biscuit can be. But don’t take my word for it, watch it below and make your own mind up!
Necronomidol Have A New Song, Apparently
Necronoma – as they are also styled – crossed my radar last year on the back of their super weird single Atai no Tsumeato and they’ve been lurking in the back of my mind ever since. Yes, I agree, the band are a very niche proposition and certainly a work in progress.
Sigure – A Most Enigmatic Live Act
Ling Tosite Sigure (AKA Sigure) returned to the UK to play London’s Inigo at the O2 on Saturday July 11.
“Hi everyone, we are Ling Tosite Sigure. Please enjoy our crazy Japanese sound. Thank you” announces lead guitarist and singer Toru ‘TK’ Kitajima, just before the band embarks on 45 minutes of one of the most compelling live shows I have seen recently.
Seven Japanese Acts To Watch In 2015
I’m off to Malaysia for an epic two week adventure of stuffing myself with amazing food and getting a proper sun tan cos it’s about 90 degrees and sunny as f*ck! Yay!
But before I do I thought I’d share my thoughts on what Japanese bands are going to create a stir in 2015 because, well, because I feel like it.
Babymetal Live Review at the Brixton Academy
BABYMETAL return to the UK for another round of genre-bending, guitar shredding, unbridled mayhem in front of another sold-out London audience.
After I managed to dry out from the biblical downpour before the show I was afforded the chance to watch BABYMETAL, the Japanese J-pop/metal hybrid, from many vantage points on Saturday November 8 2014; high up in the balcony, the peripherals of the stage, on top of several other people after the infamous ‘wall of death’ collapsed during ‘Ijime, Dame, Zettai’ (‘No more bullying, never’ obviously) and I can honestly say with not a hint of irony, BABYMETAL smashed it this night.

I Went To See BABYMETAL
As many visitors to my world famous site know, I am a huge fan of Babymetal and a horrible liar because last time I began a sentence like this I said I would never blog about them again. Well just get over your high horses ‘cos I’ve just got back from London where I totally saw them live! Continue reading
