Rejuvenated Half-Face

Quirky indie rock with female vocals from Tokyo, Japan.

How's that for a great band name?

On top of that, they kick serious ass.

Thanks for all the instrumental band's stuff I'm too lazy to find!

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #68 on:** September 10, 2007, 05:24:19 AM »

This cool jazz/funk/pop band just sent me an add request on myspace, and I thought other people here would like them

http://www.myspace.com/jilldecoyassociation

too bad they don't have any full songs up :/

Also if anyone has some stuff from them, share please!

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #70 on:** October 23, 2007, 01:47:21 AM »

BUMP

G-Ampere

I found this band a couple years ago but couldn't find anything besides the stuff on their site, but it seems they released a mini album early this year. It's pretty good from the previews on the site. They're like light pop-rock with some electronica elements.

I probaby still won't be able to find their stuff, but I can try right?

I can alteast let other people know about them. (Which then in turn makes it easier for me to find their stuff >_>)

tsutomo · « **Reply #71 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:03:00 AM »

if someone is interested in japanese hardcore here, i like some bands and can recomend here:
(some of the videos were uploaded by me

so you can see how unknown are they

)

berry roll (pop punk)

uplift spice (pop punk)

dt. (mixture)

skull candy (skacore)

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #72 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:50:17 AM »

ah so you like female fronted poppunk/ska bands?

One of my favorites is muramasa

skull candy seem pretty nice, thanks for that

boykun · « **Reply #73 on:** October 23, 2007, 03:32:22 AM »

There's Witchery Skank if you're into Skull Candy. More pop oriented, and has 2 vocalists. I always see them billed together, touring and stuff.

Oh, and an Uplift Spice video, cool. Is that a new song?

tsutomo · « **Reply #74 on:** October 23, 2007, 04:11:05 AM »

oh yeah, i like more female vocals than male ones.

muramasa is really cool, but i never heard an album of them, dunno exactly why. ^^'

witcherry skank isn't for me. those girls vocals aren't for my ears. ^^'

yep, that song is from their 3rd mini-album, rasen, released last month.
-----------------------------------------
more bands:

(talkin about two girls...)
midnightpumpkin (skacore)

gollbetty (skacore)

red bacteria vacuum (punk rock)

ketchup mania (pop punk)

okay, i have to admit that hiro's (ketchup vocalist) vocals are far worse than the witcherry girls.

and of course, the classic:

yum yum orange (skacore)

tenkei · « **Reply #75 on:** October 23, 2007, 05:16:40 AM »

i listen to most of those bands, but i wouldnt really call them skacore... most are a lot more pop than punk. none of them are really all that obscure either.

ketchup mania's vocals make sayu sound like an angel, man

also, you check out oreskaband, tsutomo, if you dont already listen to them.

also do you have any uplift spice? theyre obscure for sure, can never find SHIT by them. all i have is shateki

tenkei · « **Reply #76 on:** October 23, 2007, 06:07:24 AM »

double post FFOOOOOOO~!!

boy and i were talking about how we hadnt found any new obscure/indie bands lately, then i remembered this one

Paraele Stripes - PHIRST TENSE

pretty awesome electronica/downtempo with some emo thrown in. reminds me of a capsule+scll love child, girls tape store vibe goin on. anyway, i really liked it. enjoy~

also, dont remember where i got it. kmc or jps...

boykun · « **Reply #77 on:** October 23, 2007, 06:13:22 AM »

BAZRA.

Not really obscure, but I haven't seen them mentioned around.
Here's their most recent album

(2007.04.11) フトサマス

They sound like Sambomaster, or close enough.

edit: Also,

FOOL&SCISSORS

Bought their first album a couple months ago. Pretty minimal and simple rock.

(2004.05.12) キモチハツタワル

They've since replaced their bassist, or she left the band, or something. I can't find much info aside from their website.

Funny thing is that Hiro's vocals don't bother me at all. But I listen to ConCon Jump a lot without any problems, so that probably says something about me. Definitely recommend them since they fit in with the other groups mentioned so far... provided you can take the vocals.

Also Arinco∞Gang and Bubblegum come to mind in that punk/pop-punk category. Tokyo Pinsalocks in the more rock category. Emmie the STRIPPER and Retro Honpo for ska.

And hey, I just noticed that Kiiiii never got mentioned here? Unless I missed it. Their Al & Bum from a couple months ago was amazingly fun.
