SA - Stiff Upper Lip



SA is my all time favorite japanese punk band.
They’re formed in 1985 and ended in 1988. During their first phase, they only released one single named “I Get Position”.
In the year 2000, Taisei, the vocalist in their early years, reformed the band together with Naoki (Laughin’ Nose former guitar player), plus other two guys, and since then, they keep doing, what in my opinion is, the best punk music in Japan.
Their sound is fast and aggressive, but, at the same time, is really catchy, with a lot of sing-alongs. The only bad thing is their english.
They have already release 7 full length, 2 mini albums, and 4 singles. I’ve upload a very rare mini album released in 2003. This album contains their best song Naughty Boys (meet us there), a classic punk rock’n’roll Cock Sparrer style song.
Enjoy!



Tracklist:
01-Stay Strong
02-Climber’s song
03-No man’s nation
04-Sunrise hunter
05-Brace & the gain
06-サマーホリデイズ スカイ
07-Yet!Yet!Yet!
08-Naughty Boys (meet us there)

Punks Are Fuckin' Making Fuckin' Cds Comp

Photobucket
This is the Punks are Fuckin' Making Fuckin' Cds comp on Pogo 77 Records. It has 3 songs (One is the classic Piss off MTV Punks) from the always great Tom & Bootboys (Nori runs Pogo 77), 3 from noisier Greedy Bambi, 4 from even louder Little Bastards, another 4 from insanely loud Lasting Noise Attack and the last 3 tracks are from Defeat who end it on a more chaospunk sound. I will admit that I have never really liked listening to the 3 bands in the middle through headphones so I recommend large, large speakers. Pogo 77 Records is a great label with an amazing back catalog. You can visit them here: www.pogo77.com or here: http://www.myspace.com/pogo77records

Anger Flares



It’s my first post in “my” new blog, so I have to start with great music.
Anger Flares is a great Oi! Band from Japan. They sound like the traditional english bands, with lots of sing alongs and street anthems.
They have released 2 albums (“Begin to Walk” & “A Way of Life”), a split with Clash Dogs, and were part of many compilations, like the famous anti fascist compilation “Class Pride Worldwide Vol. 3”.
The members of this band call themselves SHARP skinheads, but it’s a very controversial label. Some people say that they hang around with members of bands like United We Stand and The Hawks, both part of the nationalist japanese skinhead movement.
They use to have a website and a myspace page, but both are down, don’t know why. But if you want:
www.myspace.com/angerflares
www.bootstomp-records.com/angerflares/

Line up:
Yuichi – vocals
Hide – guitar
Pilo – bass
Pon-chang – drums



This is their first and best album. If you like traditional european Oi!, you’ll like this.

Tracklist:
01-United forceful youth
02-Oi! will never die
03-Begin to walk
04-The reason for living is there
05-Get over the wall
06-A way of life
07-Making noise tonight
