Another kick butt J-Rock band is Chocolate Chip Cookies, with strong vocals and high energy guitar work. The first track is Your World, which came out earlier this year. After that is a song from 2012’s Rockin’ on Girl’s Door Vol.2, and the final entry is Fly A Skull from their 2011 album.
Electric Lunch has some amazing guitar work and powerful vocals. I don’t know what the song titles are, Google Translate kept chocking on the web page, and finally spit out The end of the world time he Ru current beast of silvery white to dredge the moonlit night heart. But I don’t need to be able to read the words to tell that the music is kick ass. Thanks to J-Rock Explosion for the heads up on this band.
An all girl rock band from Tokyo, Sugar’N’Spice definitely kicks butt. This is the title track from their most recent album The Hybrid Age, you can listen to a bunch more of their music on their Facebook page.
The first track is Superfly’s Skipped Beat, a classic little jazz piece. Then comes the Alt-Rock anthem from The Calendar of Happy Days with a track from their new album Feelback View. The third track is a Lo-Fi capture of a live song done by A Flood Of Circle. If you don’t know these bands, I promise you will be glad to get to know them; they have some amazing music to offer.
I don’t believe I have ever heard the Star Wars theme music done in quite this style before, so I had to share it. By Lindsey Stirling & Peter Hollens, this was a YouTube Geek Week flagged item which I somehow missed until now. And then, just because I enjoyed that one so much, I went and checked a few more of Lindsey’s tracks, about Zombies and life after the Apocalypse and other normal stuff. That last one is probably my favorite Imagine Dragons cover ever, or at least so far.
I will find out the name of this band in a format that Amazon or Apple understands, because I need to buy their music! While researching, it looks like N’ Shukugawa Boys has the highest probability of being correct. I stumbled across this while looking for something else entirely (the internet is wonderful that way) and got hooked 30 seconds into the first song. Somewhere between pop and rock, or maybe punk and visual kei, I do like their style.
