I don’t know about you, but a lot of what I’m looking for in music these days is something I’ve never heard before.
I actually liked and enjoyed Psy and his “Gagnam Style”, and totally agree with Grimes when she recently went on line hitting out at the haters.
“…I’m sorry, but I think it’s fucking incredible that a korean language song is the most popular thing on the planet. Thats so good for humanity. Psy wrote and produced gangnam style himself and directed the video HIMSELF. …his art is creating a generation of kids that will grow up seeing asian culture as being as valid as western culture which they currently don’t.” • http://actuallygrimes.tumblr.com (Feb 6th 2013 • something I want to say)
Let’s face it folks we’re talkin’ POP music here, it’s a bit of fun. Smile.
…so with that thought in mind, I give you my latest discovery from Japan… BABYMETAL !
A J-Pop / Heavy Metal hybrid, three-piece… cute kids and heavy riffs! What’s not to like?
Su-Metal (vocal & dance), Moametal (scream & dance) and Yuimetal (scream & dance), “pursuing the road of only one, rather than #1.”
They’ve released three singles and a DVD to date, all on Toy’s Factory records in Japan. Here’s a couple of videos and links for you to check out.
Enjoy!
