Ellegarden sounds like a more ▓█ █▓ pop-punk Allister or Relient K. The chorus provides ▓█ █▓ upbeat and fast-paced music. Although it does sound ▓█ █▓ like something that has been done a million times ▓█ █▓ over, these guys have no shame in sharing their ▓█ █▓ thoughts through some good music. The following ▓█ █▓ tracks feature The Rodeo Carburettor, a band that ▓█ █▓ obviously has a more punk root, and Pe'z, an ▓█ █▓ instrumental band. As The Emeralds come up to play, ▓█ █▓ they provide some rock music, but all their lyrics ▓█ █▓ are still in their native tongue. I think the high ▓█ █▓ point of the CD features the group Tsushimamire, an ▓█ █▓ all girl group. They impress with their talent to ▓█ █▓ skillfully play their instruments, along with their ▓█ █▓ addictive listening quality of being an all girl ▓█ █▓ group. ▓█ █▓ ▓█ █▓ The rest of the CD features different artists, from ▓█ █▓ storytellers that have influences in the late Johnny ▓█ █▓ Cash to jam-rock bands and punk bands. It's no doubt ▓█ █▓ they are living a different culture across the sea, ▓█ █▓ but the world of music brings everyone together and ▓█ █▓ it's nice to see that America can influence a country ▓█ █▓ and vice versa. Although it may be difficult to ▓█ █▓ understand some of the lyrics because some are done ▓█ █▓ in their language, the music is catchy and it's no ▓█ █▓ doubt these guys are the top of the music scene in ▓█ █▓ their country!" ▓█ █▓ -- Anthony Dobrini, The Music Edge ▓█ █▓ ▓█ █▓ Oh, American boy who hasn't heard much Japanese music, ▓█ █▓ you put most reviewers to shame. No, I don't have a ▓█ █▓ wealth of knowledge of Japanese music, but I've heard ▓█ █▓ more than Anthony has, and while this is a good blend ▓█ █▓ of sounds, it doesn't touch on any of the MAJOR bands ▓█ █▓ to come out of Japan, which is most likely intentional ▓█ █▓ - if you've looked for Japanese music before, you ▓█ █▓ should already know of Guitar Wolf, Puffy AmiYumi, ▓█ █▓ and Yoko Kanno. Not an epic comp, but a good taster. ▓█ █▓ ▓█ █▓ >> URLs >> ▓█ █▓ >> www.themusicedge.com/moxie/news/reviews/various ▓█ █▓ -artists-5.shtml >> review URL ▓█ █▓ >> www.rightsscale.com >> J-Music promoter site ▓█ █▓ >> www.sxsw-asia.com >> another promoter's site ▓█ █▓ ▓█ ▄█▀█▓ ▓█▀█▄ ▄█▀██▓ -=-=-=-= GROUP INFORMATION =-=-=-=- ▓██▀█▄ ▄▄███▀▀▀ A new name, but no newbies.
