9mm Parabellum Bullet

 

 This is a band that you will probably like right away if you're a rock fan. The word this band screams at me is ENERGY. Their songs are fast, complicated, interesting, powerful and full of energy. They have a new album due for June 15 of this year, and their last record, Revolutionary, was just awesome. My favourite track from it was definitely Inochi no Zenmai/命ノゼンマイ:

 Which has an absolutely epic ending, so wait for it. I'll be happily awaiting Movement for when it comes out!

Quruli

I love Quruli. I...could listen to them for ages. Only now am I getting off my lazy butt and...years after having a bunch of their music am I combing through to make sure I have it all. And I don't. Bad fan. What I do have of theirs, I loveee. Every track, I tells ya. So invest in Quruli. There's not much to say about them. They're quite successful, one of the top pop bands in Japan. The sound is nothing spectacular in and of itself - simple guitars, drums, singing, etc. But there is magic to their work, I think. Just the right emotions, solid songwriting, carefree singing and technical instrumentation: it all works so well.
     I haven't bothered to watch many of their videos, but from what I see they're fun too! I'll post another good one below, but make sure you listen to much more than this!
