supercar
Does anyone know the group Supercar? They're a japanese rock band, and they're pretty interesting. They started out mainly as rock, but their music has evolved into rock/club music, and there are a lot of elements of electronica in their music. I've heard them described as a japanese radiohead, but from what i've heard of radiohead, i like Supercar a lot more, here's the description from their site:
The Sound of SUPERCAR may not be as flashy as their name implies, but the foursome has a knack of making something commonplace seem extraordinary. As for speed, they've certainly raced through the japanese music wrold. Ever since their debut in 1995, SUPERCAR quickly became accepted as one of the top musicians to represent japan. Their popularity can easily be explained. There simply is no other badn that consists of the flavor and talent of SUPERCAR.
Singer/Guitarist KOJI NAKAMURA has a one of a kind sense for his minimal sound making and voice that can express the most delicate emotions. Bassist MIKI FURUKAWA's sound has gotten stronger than ever before, and she has amazing presence as a vocalist. KODAI TAZAWA's talented drum playing accomplishes any difficult rythms. And finally, there is JUNJU ISHIWATARI, who produces the progressive lyrics that cross many emotions and scenery that touches our hearts. According to KOJI NAKAMURA, their distinctive sonic dichotomy "comes from our love of loud music on one hand, and our love for melodies on the other. We try to stay true to both and balance them out."
