Nihon no Zatsumi to Junsui - Japanese Sweet And Sour -

[Machine Translation] The band was founded in 2010 by Kensaku Ando (b), formerly of CULT OF PERSONALITY and smorgas, and Eropanther III (formerly of Pink Flamingo MG). Kensaku's former bandmates Ryosuke Koita (ex-smorgas) and LINDA (ex-CULT OF PERSONALITY) joined the band to form the current lineup, which is made up of a number of seasoned members with experience in various bands, including CULT OF PERSONALITY, which has performed at Summer Sonic. The sound of the band is a modern update of the mixture/alternative rock established in the 80s and 90s. The band's bouncing funk grooves, sharp guitars, and the ever-changing vocals of LINDA, who also has experience as an actor, overwhelm the listener. Their first album "JAPANESE SWEET AND SOUR", which was created while they were steadily performing live, is an album that expresses the ideals and contradictions of Japan and Tokyo with their own ideas and music. GrindHouse recordings, which has released only Western music artists, will back up the release of "JAPANESE SWEET AND SOUR". The release will be under the double name of FinalCountDown, which is run by one of the members of the band! The band's performance is unique to the experienced band that laid the foundation of the J-LOUD scene, which has now reached its peak! This release is not only for the members of CULT OF PERSONALITY, smorgas, Pink Flamingo MG, but also for fans of THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS and other bands who were part of the scene at the same time, as well as SiM and other bands who are currently at the top of the scene. Recommended! Fans of RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, FISHBONE, FAITH NO MORE, LIVING COLOR and other funk metal/mixed rock bands from the early days of the genre will also appreciate the authentic sound of this album!
