Melt Banana

[Sexy]

It's a band. It's a noisecore band. It's a japanese() noisecore band. It's a fantastic Japanese noisecore band.

I love them. Although not as popular in Japan as they are in the United States, they have a fairly good fanbase, and they have tons of songs.

I've had a friend burn me a CD of just some random songs of theirs and loved them, but I wanted more. I went to iTunes, typed in Melt Banana, and bought the album Cell-Scape. This is without any prior listening to any of their songs.

I listened to the entire album.

Twice.

Fucking fantastic! Anyone else heard of them? Like them? Hate them?

Melt Banana: for fans of Boris and Sunn0))).

I qualify.

They are pretty good, definitely.

I'm glad that someone here likes them. All of my friends seem to care less about them.

Others just never heard of them. This isn't a surprise with you Ribos.

What's noisecore exactly? Hardcore and noisy music? I've never heard of this band personally.

That's what I hear, and I recently found out one of my friends loves them too. (I've known this guy for 3 years and I just found this out)

He said they're amazing live. Next time they come down to LA, I'm getting tickets.

I went to iTunes and found an album from Sun 0))) & Boris. Sounds like Michael Andrews at first, but I really want the album.

I might have to buy it.

Ahh it's so great.

I wouldn't think of them anywhere NEAR boris, but they're pretty good. I haven't heard much from them, I admit.

I'm glad someone on here likes noise. It means I can recommend to you Ruins!

Ruins is a percussion and bass duo from Japan who strays as much or even more into the avant-garde than Melt Banana or Boris does. PM me if you'd like a taste.
