Spotlight on:

SHONEN KNIFE

Osaka's Shonen Knife have been playing their patented brand of sticky sweet pop rock since 1981. Common song topics include candy, animals, and summertime, which perfectly complement the childlike qualities of their music. They are perhaps the world's most well-known Japanese rock band due to the efforts of fans like Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Redd Kross. Despite the departure of singer/bassist Michie Nakatani back in 1999, sisters Naoko and Atsuko Yamana have continued the Shonen Knife legacy expanding their musical reach into the realms of techno and funk in the process. 2005 marked the release of their 12th album. TnR is proud to carry their first four independent releases.



"Flying Jelly Attack" from the album Yama-no Attchan

"Redd Kross" from the album 712

eX-Girl
"Endangered Species" CD
Operatic vocals over genre-bending avant-noise rock played by three girls who wear brightly-colored costumes and hail from the distant world of Planet KeroKero. One of our favorite bands.


Friday Knights
"Nice View From Zero" CD
Friday Knights are a three piece punk rock outfit that formed in Japan back in '96. This seven song EP contains a great cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop".


Limited Express (has gone?)
"Live at the 101 Bar" CD
Live in Melbourne in November 2004. LE(hg?) sound like "Fugazi battling Astroboy inside a giant strawberry coloured lava lamp". Australia release.


ni hao!
"Red Blue Green" Enhanced CD
Color-coded ni hao! play a sweet blend of pop, punk, rock, and new wave. Enhanced CD includes rehearsal footage and an incredible puppet show.


Stance Punks
"Howling Idol" CD

The 2005 full-length from one of Japan's greatest punk acts. 11 tracks of fast, poppy punk rock from the band that brought you the opening theme for the anime "Naruto" as well as the ending theme to "Battle Royale II". Japanese release on Epic Records, limited quantities, highly recommended.


Stance Punks
"Let It Roll" CD
The 2004 full-length from one of Japan's most popular punk rock ourfits. CD features 12 tracks of fist-pumping, sing-along punk rock packaged in a full-color slipcase with collectable booklet. Japanese release, limited quantities, highly recommended.


Tsu Shi Ma Mi Re
"Pregnant Fantasy" CD
One of the best albums of 2005. Funky, poppy, humorous, and a bit creepy, TSMMR have an uncategorical style so appeallingly offbeat that it had to come from Japan.


Various Artists
"We Ain't Housewife Material" CD
20 track collection of international all-girl punk, rock, and garage bands featuring seven from Japan. Recommended.
