New Music Series: Stance Punks

Hrm. I decided to post up a band and some info on them as well as why I like them for the next few posts. So first up is: Stance Punks.



The music Stance Punks make contain catchy melodies and a lot of energy. It is constantly shouting, not screaming which is a big difference. The main singer, Tsuru, looks really funny at times and the guitarist, Kinya, has a Gibson SG. The bassist, Tetsushi, has a semi-bowl cut. The drummer, Kenichi, has cool hair style. It's all in Japanese so I don't understand the lyrics but I still like it. I listen to music for the music, not the messages. Musicians should make music, not messages. So I don't mind shallow music. If a good song just happens to have a good message then more power to it. However, if a song has the most unharmonious lyrics and a great message without a good beat, shame on it. I think Ironic by Alanis Morissette would be an example of that. Of course there's a point where even I don't like a song based on its lyrics. Sugar by System of a Down has the most absurd one-liner. I would definitely like it if it weren't for that.

Anywho, back onto Stance Punks, I just like the image they give out and the music they play.
