Japanese HC was so mystical when I was a kid. The songs were incredible, they were fast and crazy and chaotic, and the members always dressed so outrageously punk and wild they looked plain insane. Take Death Side...all I knew of them was the music--other worldly--and from their pictures on the records: okay...four foot high mohawk on the singer, guitarist looks like someone in POISON (the American POISON, not the Japanese POISON, though said guitarist, Chelsea, <I> was </I> in the Japanese POISON!), and the bassist slightly resembles Pat Benatar. Slightly. Now, with the internet, message boards, the mystique is not as rampant. It's all more accessible and less mysterious but it's still fucking awesome as hell and some of my favorite music.yellow.eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234167057057281042noreply@blogger.com
