Minority Blues Band


For those who don't like to read: I've touched on Minority Blues Band before, but fuck you, this is my blog so I'll write about what I want you shit machine.

Minority Blues Band was George, Spalding, and Yumi.

I'm fucking tired but I can't fall asleep. And since I'm currently out of school and have a boring worthless job, hopefully I'll be able to entertain you less and less with shit you won't read. Whatever, I'm trying to think but my brain is all sort of like "nah fuck you dude, you are a lazy piece of shit so I'm gonna give you nothing to write about along with nothing to do." I'm too tired to play Dota 2 as well, it's just a hard fucking knock life for me.

As you've probably guessed from the general theme of this blog, Minority Blues Band are from Japan. Where from? I haven't a fucking clue. It's not like that shit really matters, or maybe you have some weird hate for a random part of Japan, and it burns so bright you have to hate every single thing that comes out of that specific spot. Get some help. Minority Blues Band released just about everything of theirs on the legendary Snuffy Smiles label. You should just know by that that this is some of the top-tier shit. Minority Blues band called it a day in 2004 after 6 years of ripping it apart, and then released a nice compilation of their splits and shit in 2009.

Minority Blues Band - "God Bless'em Not Me"

Minority Blues Band have been my primary jams for the past couple of weeks. They play a form of melodic pop-punk that is just so ahead of the fucking game it's ridiculous. The song structures are a lot slower than most pop-punk's hyper speed bullshit, but they still manage to nail a sense of urgency (I guess that's the word?) that just seems so impossible for the slower song structures. I'd also like to throw out a mention to the vocals too. They really do have a special quality to them that I like to point out, they just seem better than every other pop-punk band from Japan (barring the ultra-kuwaii female vocals of Pear of the West and others of the sort).

Minority Blues Band - "Running" I fucking love the riff in this song, it's just so out there to me.

I'll try and be more active just for you. I'll even post about new bands. But seriously, listen to more Minority Blues Band.

  1. Minority Blues Band was from Tokushima prefecture. Spalding and George are in a new band called WHAT-A-NIGHT's ( http://drunkensailorrecords.bandcamp.com/album/what-a-nights-lp ). They released a full length last year and released a split with the bangers a few weeks ago :)
