Making the Road

Fat Wreck Chords

Really cool black and white cover with this samurai guy who has just slain all these people. Well, if you’re into that kinda thing… Three Japanese guys playing music very much like that usually found on this record label. It is fast and similar bands would have to be NOFX, No Use For a Name, and many other fast and poppy bands. It is interesting to decipher some of the pronunciations, though. Some real cool song titles on this: “Teenagers are All Assholes,” “Just Rock,” “Tinkerbell Hates Goatees” (which is a pretty groovy calypso song… yeah). Bye.
