So yeah I'm on my summer holidays and I'm pretty bored... it doesn't matter that I'm in Spain right now.
So I decided to do one of the things I do when I'm bored: rack the internet for new music, usually Japanese.
I discovered two bands so far: BORIS, an experimental band and ONE OK ROCK, a sort of hardcore rock outfit.
To be honest, a friend had suggested ONE OK ROCK to me, but the singer's voice just did not appeal to me, and the music itself was very standard rock, nothing special. However I gave them a go with the album 'Kanjo Effect', and the first track "Koi no Aibo Kokoro no Cupid" blew me away. It had a catchy riff and he sings in Japanese most of the time. I'm still getting used to 'Zankyou Reference', where it seems to be mostly English...
No words can describe how happy I was to discover BORIS. I actually discovered them by accident, after sending an e-mail to a magazine about Japanese bassists; the editor replied that he was currently doing an interview with the Japanese band 'BORIS'. So I subsequently searched them on YouTube and BOOM, I fell in love. To me, their selling point is that they sound like a heavier 'Yura Yura Teikoku', a psychedelic rock band that I LOVE already!
