Cute noise hard junk love band Halbach
I got myself yet another new favorite Japanese band, Halbach, which describes itself as a cute noise hard junk love band. No it’s not just super hot singer Shibuya Haruna, although she helps; I heard the music before I saw her. I felt the same excitement I did when I first saw Iggy Pop perform (on television).
Forgive me for always comparing these Japanese bands with western bands, but that’s my frame of reference. The raw energy of this band, Shibuya screaming her primal screams, I can’t help but be reminded of The Stooges. Only Halbach is a lot funkier, and they have a DJ!
Man, can it possibly get any cooler than this? I LOVE this band! Last year they had their first CD out, simply named Halbach, and it’s hot stuff.
Not for pussies, of course.
