NEW KIDS ON THE BRICK

[Machine Translation] GIG-ANTIC, a long-established live house located in Shibuya, Tokyo, has carefully selected 21 bands from among many bands with a keen eye and ear. This is the one disc that conveys the "now" of GIG-ANTIC in a real way. A must-listen! This V.A. is also a meaningful one for GIG-ANTIC's 14th anniversary. It has been 7 years since the last release "Fine" (2001). (The previous participating band was "FLOW". The English version of "BLUSTER" was included in the album, which blew up after VA was released. ) The bands that have gathered here are all bands that have made GIG-ANTIC their home, and we are looking forward to seeing them in the future. All the songs are newly recorded and newly composed. The first sound source of COOLER KING McQUEEN, a veteran band with three members, and FROZEN FOR AN AGE, another band newly formed by Mr. MACO, Gt.Vo of SLIME BALL, which is making noise, are the first sound sources. The bands on this album are from a variety of genres, including punk, melo-core, and emo, which is GIG-ANTIC's specialty. The order of the songs was also thought out to the point of making each band stand out, to the point of making your nose bleed. You will never get tired of this album. Please listen to the fruits of our (GIG-ANTIC and band members) efforts! The jacket design was done by SLIME BALL/Dr. Katayama.

東京の渋谷にある老舗ライブハウスGIG-ANTICが、数あるバンドの中から 確かな目と耳で厳選した21バンドがここに集結! GIG-ANTICの"今"をリアルに伝えるこの1枚。必聴です!!「今回のこのV.AはGIG-ANTIC14周年記念盤としても意味がある1枚になっています。前回発表した(2001年発売)「Fine」から7年越しの2枚目となります。(前回の参加バンドには「FLOW」がいました。英詞版「BLUSTER」収録。VA発表後に大爆発しました。) 集まったバンドはGIG-ANTICをホームとして頑張っているバンド君たちばかりでこれから先が楽しみなバンドばかりでもあります。 どの曲も新録・新曲となっています。特筆する点ですがこの中では大御所大ベテランCOOLER KING McQUEENが3人編成となって初の音源という事とFROZEN FOR AN AGEですが巷を騒がせているSLIME BALLのGt.VoのMACO氏が新たに組んだ別バンドでバンド自身初音源となります。収録バンドのジャンルはパンク・メロコア・エモと色とりどりです。GIG-ANTICが得意とするジャンルです。曲順もどのバンドも引き立つようにと鼻血が出るくらい考えました。飽きのこない1枚となっています。私たち(GIG-ANTICとバンドマン)の努力の結晶を是非聞いて下さい!今回のジャケデザインはSLIME BALL/Dr,片山氏が手がけました。
