NEW LP
Secret Mission Records
V/A- Scrap! LP. Wanna know what’s going on in Japan right now and who’s ruling the Punk / Rock ‘n Roll scene over there right now? Well this compilation is a pretty good place to start. To put it bluntly, there is no better window into today’s Japanese punk scene than this LP. ‘Scrap!’ boasts 17 top-tier punk songs from 6 of Japan’s most notable and vibrant acts including:
CAR CRASH --- 3 dead-end children exuding manic scree under a Killed By Death influence.
MIDDLE EDGE --- Very cold, very tough and anthemic post-punk rumble, wise and deliberate.
BLACK AND WHITE --- Note-perfect update on spiky UK ‘77 punk a la Small Wonder and Raw.
CENTIPEDE --- Red patent leather chaos from drunker & punker side of the tracks.
DIALS --- Heirs to the classic sound, as mod, punk and power-pop converge in perfect harmony.
LOUDMOUTH --- Seriousness and smarts be damned, they are here to punk you into shit.
A stellar band and track selection if you’re even remotely interested in international Punk. This is Punk Rock Japan, today and tomorrow. Recommended.
