[Slsr 207]

Welp, some stuff here :

 

 

Seems these girls have been around sometime already (not rly heard about them befor tho -.-...), it is nice

 

 

Also like these guys, really nice song by them here

 

 

Also nice and really potential kinda new band here, wouldn't be surprised if they were rly popular band in the future TBQH.

 

 

Welp, this band is ded already but wanted to share song bcuz it is rly good (also found about them only after disbandment, ul...)

I've seen the yonige trailer video, but the full vid seems like..... too boring

 

I am into J indie band not so long ago, first band was 凛として時雨, aquarifa, Itsue, Kinoko Teikoku, the female fronted band take my interest.

 

Anyway I am craving for female fronted J Indie bands, any recommendation?

The new MO'SOME song is gloriously weird and happy. Wasn't too crazy about the first mini-album, but I have really high hopes for the second one right now.

-> New JinnyOops! PV is out... Ok, it's not really "indie" and has sort of a pop-punk flavor to it - but well, for in-between I still like this kind of stuff (you can call me simple-minded now )...

Stumbled upon this today. Gorgeous, what do you guys think?

I LOVE this song, ramrod. I actually included it as one of my picks on the Best New Tracks: July 2015!

I really wanna check out the mini-album when it's released.

The song's very cool, but geez, couldn't they find fitter t-shirts?

[vanivani 558]

^ They're good!

[whitegrey 115]

Uh, oh.. How could I have missed this, hope we haven't had it here already;

 

-> newest

 

-> older one, with first 1:30 minutes are a prelude - the "action" starts after that...

 

"amenimomakez" - Very nice stuff for my taste; Piano-Rock-Pop, female vocals (bit higher pitched but I don't mind), kind of faster pace... I like!

This preview of their recent album came out at the start of this year. Really nice stuff, had forgotten to recommend since I heard it.

[whitegrey 115]

 

-> nice stuffs from kanzen ni nonfiction

[violetchain 912]

It's nice to see Suck a Stew Dry getting to the point where they can have actual actors in their videos instead of Kosei just staring awkwardly into the camera all the time. The new song is really cute too.

English downy interview!!!!

[CAT5 9075]

Looks like all of the good/promising female-fronted indie bands are either going full-on pop or down the drain somehow:

Cö shu Nie seems to be the next in line:

It's not even "bad" for the sound they're going for, but I really do wonder why they'd change their sound into this kind of moe anime fodder, when there are already so many doujin and jpop acts that already sound like this. Maybe this is just a one-off?

[DeithX252 1266]

what, so they changed the writing. Cö shu Nie to katakana? I have seen their live from youtube and awesome live:

 

 

So disappointed to indie band right now, they are going downhill because going major or just changed sound

[violetchain 912]

I kind of love how nasal their singer's voice gets.

I bloody love For Tracy Hyde and need their discography already.

 

[violetchain 912]

yorunitokeru did an acoustic performance on their Twitcast today. The video quality is pretty bad, but it's free and cute, and they recorded it, so I'm not complaining.

^The songs start around 5:55, 17:00, 34:50, 51:30, 1:09:55.

 

1. 地下室の夏 / Chikashitsu no natsu

2. プールサイドの幻 / Poolside no maboroshi

3. 寄生 / Kisei

arent they the same band that released a free album? they are so nice. thanks for sharing!

[violetchain 912]

^Yep, that was them. For some reason all of the members of Suck a Stew Dry are really generous with things like live performances and demos.

 

Lots of bands seem to be getting into doing Twitcasts, but they're one of the few I can think of where the members actually do full performances and leave them recorded so you can watch them later.

also the paellas. i think i might like this more than their album. #BELIEVE

[fitear1590 2414]

Nice! Thanks for the Tempalay update, @seurong. I'll definitely need to check out their album. I'm pretty sure they are officially utilizing the love I have leftover from disappointment with 踊ってばかりの国's (odotte bakari no kuni) last two albums.

Here's some nice 2014 gems that I don't believe have been posted yet.

Ykiki Beat
Just a grand indie pop anthem and interestingly enough, the singer almost has a Scottish accent!

 

フレデリック (Frederic)

I know @violetchain has posted about them a little, but here's their best video. So fun!

 

[Chi 2624]

I love Frederic so here are some vids i uploaded on youtube for a friend.

[violetchain 912]

^Oh wow, thanks for posting those! <3

 

Cool to see them doing DNA desu and Ai no meiwaku in the second one. The sassy hand gestures always make me smile.
