Indie folk-band tobaccojuice has announced they’re going on an hiatus. Reason behind this are musical differences in the band, which doesn’t promise any good for the future of the band, as all upcoming liveshows in August have been cancelled. Bassist 岡田圭市 (Keiichi Okada) also announced that he will leave the band.

It’s already halfway past 2011, and since I started it last year, I need to continue it. This time it’s my third sampler, and the first one for this year. In this sampler I provide you with 20 songs of various indie releases I enjoyed that were released in the last 6 months. A wide [...]

THEラブ人間 (THE LOVE NINGEN) is one of those bands that is gaining more and more fans by the minute. I discovered them about a year ago when I purchased the split-tape they did with ひらくドア (HE LUCK DOOR), and loved their tracks more than the ones by ひらくドア. So I soon after ordered their 2nd [...]

One of my favorite bands of 2010, ひらくドア (HE LUCK DOOR) has recently released a new mini-album as mentioned before. I really tried obtaining this but I seemed out of luck, and I kind of forgot about this release. Today, by chance, I visited their website for the first time in a few weeks, and [...]

… you listen to a song that immediately embraces you. Recently I received ROTH BART BARON’s debut EP, but didn’t get the chance to listen to it. I finally did, better said, I’m still listening to it now, or even better yet, I’m still on my first listen. The second song however is really one [...]

I already mentioned it in October, and I guess I was right. With a small announcement on their site, 黄金の手 (Ougon no Te) has announced they will release a new live-album this year. More details are yet to be announced, but I’ll be looking forward to it.

A few weeks back I already informed you about the new label by こんがりおんがく (Oshiri Penpenz), DODDODO and Mori from neco眠る (neco nemuru). In that same item, I noticed the new release by こんがりおんがく. This EP, NEW ME, was released yesterday on that label and accompanying that release, they released a video of 女の裸 (onna [...]

I’m not that sure, but I have a little hunch that 黄金の手 (Ougon no Te) is working on some new material. It’s already been three years since we last heard something new by them, but all of a sudden they released a new PV. 生まれ変わる日 self was already featured on their latest album 石ころ, but [...]
