Japanese bands! (more to come)
Posted November 29, 2007
My Japanese friend once showed me a band called Dir En Grey and one called Antique (or I think it's Antic) Cafe. They were somewhat good but I was very curious. So recently another friend and I started searching this place for more bands. Our search is not yet done, but we've found some good stuff (and some... different yet cool stuff like the Argentine ska band that is Running Potatoes)! Here's the current list ripped off of my music playlist (which I intend to post soon as well):
(I've ranked these bands based off of what I’ve heard on their Purevolume pages):
• GREATEST: Heartless Things
• AWESOME: Rebellage’85, Seasick, Lostthing of Memory, Gauge Means Nothing, Water Weed, Fact, Ellegarden, Prove, 16reasons, Snort, Tenho
• GREAT... BUT AN ACQUIRED TASTE: Nitro Mega Prayer
• GREAT: Acacia, Lost, Envy
• JUST OKAY: Naiad, Anywhere But Here, Unmistake
NOTE: The bands under "Just Okay" are usually bands that would be REALLY good if it weren't for some sort of flaw. Pretty much everything above them is likable (except for Nitro Mega Prayer, which I made it its own separate section because I like them). So yeah, just thought I'd let you all know that.
NOTE: This was originally a general foreign bands section, but I failed too find too many good non-Japanese bands. I’ll post the best ones I can find though when I do in hopes that I can make this a general foreign bands page again:
1. Muteki (Peruvian)
2. Plastic Rubber (Chinese)
3. The Raving Radio (Chinese)
4. Radio Cambodia (Russian)
5. Fragile As Crystal (Indonesian)
6. Dwelling Homeless (Spanish)
7. Valentine Massacre (Filipino)
8. April Morning Skies (Filipino)
Oh, and if you have some cool bands (foreign or not), don't hesitate to recommend them to me (nothing goth, satanist, scary, etc. though...)!
