Their music is sort of a funky mix of bass heavy indie rock with new wavish elements and a healthy does of Shibuya Kei style lyrics. Their new album Travelling Spoon is their best work so far. Stand out tracks - ...moreREM Suimin, Travelling Spoon Remix.
"Oh... Japanese Jeepers! I love this shirt! I would totally rock this with a pair of fashionable distressed jeans and big hair! For the final step I would cake on the eye liner!"
"Another great Shibuya Kei era band. Has a very poppy, catchy feel, with a mix up upbeat and moody songs. It's a nice solid effort with a variety of sounds. Stand out tracks include: Trippy Happy Bunny Sunny Dizzy Baby, Seaside Now! and Frog."
"Thee 50's Highteens carry on the wild and wonderful sounds of garage rock of the 50 and 60s. Stand out tracks include Don't Break My Heart and their cover of Shout. Definitely worth catching live as well."
"Suspender skirts were originally part of the traditional summer school uniform, but have been reworked and appropriated into manga-anime & jrock style. Pair with striped thigh high stockings or big leg warmers and chunky shoes or boots."
