My favorite J-Pop solo artist is Chara. She’s got plenty of amusing pop songs, but the lyrics are often more profane than anything Madonna’s ever released.
Zoobombs, once they get into the groove, gotta be some of the most original rip-off artists goin’. Up there with Spencer, Beck, Beastie Boys, or Royal Trux.
If you still haven’t heard the woolly’n’blustery acid-damaged gospel o’ the blues is the gospel of rock confessions of the mighty Zen Guerrilla, punch yerself.
XIII PFP is weird hardcore with a ton of horns (huh?) that doesn’t sound like anything you’ve ever heard. They mix heavy parts and clean parts with ease.
1993’s Heart Of The Killer finds Ripper in full Halford mode, soaring over compositions that are riff-crazy, like heavy Savatage with an exploration metal vibe.
