SPIRAL CHORD - Sayonara, sekai (2008)

I'm uploading this EP because the only link available on the internet has corrupted files. SPIRAL CHORD was formed by ex-members of the indie post-hardcore band COWPERS. Their music sounds like John Reis' bands (COWPERS even released a split with NAHT as a hommage to him). For fans of Rocket from the Crypt, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu and COWPERS, of course. Their videoclip "Distance to Substance" has been directed by the famous photograph Keiichi Nitta.

渚にて (Nagisa Ni Te) stands for "On the Beach" in japanese language. They are a psychedelic lo-fi folk duo formed by Shinji Shibayama and his girlfriend Masako Takeda. It's impossible not to feel as if you were REALLY sitting on the seashore while listenin' to these four long tracks.

eastern youth - Tabiji ni Kisetsu ga Moe Ochiru (1998)

"Eastern Youth, often stylized as eastern youth, is a Japanese indie rock trio. Despite being primarily punk rock-influenced, their sound blends many different styles, and is especially complex for a three-piece band. Their lyrics, sung in Japanese, express the helplessness of Japanese youths. Their influences include Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Stiff Little Fingers and Discharge."
