Pop punk pioneers Shonen Knife, who recently celebrated their 30th Anniversary with a Ramones cover album, has announced that they'll be releasing a brand new studio album this June.
It's a real shame when a band really hits its stride, only to announce they're disbanding as soon as they're finished with their current tour. Such is the sad case of LAZYgunsBRISKY, an all-girl rock band from Japan whose past works were comparable to the likes of old-school Guns N' Roses and the Raw Power era of The Stooges. Last September they released their second self-titled full-length album in their homeland (and released in America this week), showcasing the sheerest elements needed to thrive in the rock world.
There's something about Rinko's tone throughout her band Molice's latest album. At times she's seems innocent, almost in a playful mood with her fellow bandmates Yuzuru and Takashi. However, in what can only be described as a sharp left turn, her perky persona becomes entangled into something more psychotic, as if she is determined to take out anyone and anything that crosses paths with her arms and weaponry. Whatever it may be, it greatly defines what NEUGRAVITY is: a schizophrenic monster out to give you a life-threatening good time.
Before their upcoming gig at PAX East King Baby Duck and ESH's Pandalicious had a chance to sit down with local Square-Enix cover band The World Is Square.
For almost their entire careers TsuShiMaMiRe have focused mainly on three subjects in their songs: food, sex, and death. So what happens when they decide to take snippets of those subjects and insert them into an entire concept album around visitors from outer space? The answer proves to be its namesake: Shocking.
It's that time of year folks! The South By Southwest Festival is coming, and the King is ready to prep you with a playlist featuring artists from Japan, Korea, and the Boston area!
One month before the release of their upcoming album Neugravity, Japanese band Molice sat down with King Baby Duck for another episode of One-On-One.
With the newest of the beloved Just Dance series finally making it out from Wii-exclusivity, I was able to give it a try with my Kinect for the 360, just as the sequel to the Kinect dance hit Dance Central hit stores. With both dance games sitting on my shelf beckoning, I was hard pressed to decide which of the pair would reign as my number one dance game of choice.
