Melt Banana

Another Japanese Noise Punk band I saw at Supersonic. Here is a video of their 8 short songs:



I remember the first time I heard Melt Banana, it was on a mix cd that my then boyfriend made me when I was 16, before I knew any better about music. I remember thinking this is the craziest thing I've ever heard! Even now, I still think their music is pretty crazy and as rad as they are, I still can't listen to them that often. I guess this is because, most times when I listen to music, I am drawing or working of some sort and I need a level of concentration that Melt Banana can't offer me. Saying that, I am listening to them whilst typing this!They have this pure noisey energy that shouts, HEY! We're in the room performing, LISTEN TO US!!" and you just can't ignore it. This is why they are so good live, even if you don't listen to them usually, because you just have to focus on them and be entranced by their madness.
