Dynamite Club “Fusion Era”

These guys are very Japanese. They should not be confused with your run-of-the-mill Japanese punk bands. These guys actually have most of their songs be under two minutes. Musically, it sounds like a lot of American noise bands.

“Ladykiller” reminds me of “Berserker” by Olaf in “Clerks.” You know. The one in which the woman says, “Did he just say ‘making fuck’?” Similarly, I can’t tell whether there is swearing in “Ladykiller,” either, but it sounds like it.

“Besame My Love” also attempts to be vulgar, and honestly, it’s worth a listen just to hear him sing the word “penis.” Fans of Convalescent Surprise will love this one. Lots of tempo change, alternating thrash and yelling with quiet balladeering. In “Ki=Chinchin” they sing “Take Off Your Pants,” making the song an ideal candidate for a future “No Pants” compilation.

“www.porno.net” is another song with sneaky lyrics. It’s hard to understand but then you hear “lesbian.” Yep. I also like “II” because he sings a bunch of numbers in a row. I don’t think that is what they mean by “math rock.”
