Best of Bacon

[Machine Translation] Bacon is back on the rise! Bacon, the most active band ever, is releasing its best album with all the songs from the UK PROJECT era on the occasion of the 19th anniversary of the band's formation. The album features 15 songs that are still frequently played at live shows, including not only the past representative songs but also the new song "Stand By Me", which Bacon proudly says is the Bacon of today, and the re-recording of "KiDs are alright" from the first mini album! In the early 2000s, when guitar rock bands such as ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and others were building a scene, the power pop band Bacon debuted with their first mini album "Bacon" from UK PROJECT. Bye-Bye little school girl", the first song on the album, is a song with the initial impulse and speed of Bacon's debut, and the sweet and sour lyrics are still frequently performed at live shows. The label released a joint split single with Base Ball Bear. With that single and "Mirai Nikki" from their first full album "Butterfly," they steadily joined the scene and became a leader of the Kansai indies scene. Their next full-length album, "9 tracks Hi!", included the four-piece dance-rock song "Dancing madly is fine", which is still a hit at their live performances. After that, the band changed their sound a little and released the full album "Tsuki ga Asahi ni Kahanae Tara" (Till the Moon Turns to Morning Sun). The song "Escalator Love" is a famous love song that was so well received that shirts were made with the song as the theme. In 2017, they joined a label for the first time in 6 years and returned to the Kansai indie scene with their 2nd mini album "Polaroid Camera" and became the most active band ever. Their live performances have been well-received, and the number of people attending has increased to the point where they have performed at the outdoor event "OTODAMA" and held 2-man shows with GAGAGA SP, Nerd Magnet, and others. They have gained respect from young guitar rock bands such as Nerd Magnet, and have released all of their representative songs from the past 19 years with the cooperation of UK PROJECT, which have a good sense of melody, catchiness, and happy, crying melodies that have been consistent since the beginning. This year marks the 19th anniversary of the band's heyday!
