New Japanese Punk from Otoboke Beaver


























If you thought "Punk Music" was no more then think again with this quartet, Otoboke Beaver from Japan. Released back in April on the small Damnably Records label based in London I came across this band on You Tube and decided to take the plunge with a "blood splattered" vinyl edition.

The album Itekoma Hits is 26 minutes of short energetic if not frantic songs with fast guitar and a lot of loud vocals in Japanese (obviously) that will certainly wake you up from any afternoon or evenong slumber. They have have appeared at the Scala and will be performing in the UK again no doubt.

Here's a taste of their album which if you do pick up a vinyl copy of actually plays at 45rpm! Caught me out!
