Tokyo Town Boys Blues

[Machine Translation] With their first mini-album "MAKE YOUR HEAD DOWN" released in April 2007, Motor Mustang (a.k.a. Momus, a.k.a. Momus), a big newcomer, burst onto the scene with their no-holds-barred, no-questions-asked, runaway rock sound. The band's uniquely Japanese sense of scale was praised by a certain magazine, which called them "Japan's response to the breakthroughs of JET, Datsuns, and Wolfmother," and their first appearance on the Tower Records Shibuya indie chart was at No. 6! After the release of the new album, the band has steadily increased the scale of their performance through their TOUR and one-man live shows, and has already released a new album, DROP! The second mini-album, their first in about 10 months, features more aggressive punk tunes and epic guitar riffs and shouting exchanges, and is a "What more can you ask for? The album is a total of 7 super-hard and driving songs, which goes beyond the reputation of the previous album as "like Western music despite being Japanese", and goes beyond both Japanese and Western music. The punk tune "GIRLS", a Momus-style punk tune, has a dirty and dangerous aroma, and is so explosive that any high-flying woman will be knocked out with a single blow! LANDMINE" and "DIRTY BOOTS" are monster tunes with a 500 times faster pace than the epic guitar riffs and shouts of the first album, "DON'T MISS YOU" is an explosive punk number that just keeps on driving, and "I'M IN" is a new world for Momus. I'M IN" is a cool, bewitching song that is uniquely Japanese, and so on... It would be a cliche to explain it in words, so I won't. But anyway, there is no such band in Japan. The future of Motor Mustang, a new generation Dangerous Punk band that continues to run on an unprecedented path, is something to watch out for!
