Season 7 Episode 9: Noodling in insane costumes (Feat. Hi-Standard, Band-Maid, Babymetal and more)

This week, James takes us on a journey to the Far East, and the weird and wonderful world of Japanese music and culture.

After a bit of random chat about the rap rock band, Silly Goose. James introduces Matt to the Japanese alternative music scene. He explains how the scene took off and how bands such as Babymetal ended up selling millions of records across the world. We discuss the crazy live performances of Japan’s biggest alternative bands. We remember the mighty Hi-Standard, learn about the madness of Versailles and explore the world of Japanese midwest emo.

All this and much more.

Join us, lets learn together.
