copass grinderz

heavy and junky barrage of detuned guitars, neurotic vocals and hard drummings. imagine neil young plus thurston moore on more drugs and sex. the dirty sounds of copass grinderz, although not popular among the 'in' people in the Japanese scene, proves that there's more to Japan than melodic punk and ska and mixture. lo-fi tunes for a lo-fi world. excellent stuff from an excellent band with a respectable discography behind them. some people swear they're even better than sonic youth, and what better way can you show off than by saying you've been listening to these guys way before they got big??
