Recently my dear friends Matt & Cam went on tour in Japan with their hardcore band, American Me. Upon touring they played a show with Arbus, a hardcore band based out of Kyoto, Japan . Now mind you, I'm not really into hardcore music, so when Matt told me to check out this Japanese hardcore band I was a bit skeptical but also curious to see if Japanese hardcore is better than American. Of fucking course it is!!! The singing is in English & its pretty typical hardcore screaming but its a crispy clean scream, not that deep growling cookie monster shit. The music however is bodacious. Tough ass riffs that are complex & melodic. They've also incorporated one of the coolest breakdowns that more hardcore bands should try....Smooth Latin jazz breakdowns. I highly recommend this album even if you don't like hardcore music.
