Stumbled across this gem the other day, perfect for #MusicWomenWednesday. Condor44 was formed in 1999 by guitarist/vocalist Hiroshi Sasaki and drummer Nobuyuki Ajima who met while attending college. They put out a couple records in the early 2000s and are supposedly still together.. this is the excellent title track "db" from their 2002 record of same name.

For #GrindayFriday this week, an LP that just came out in 2019, but one that should probably already be considered a grind classic. Ichikawa, Japan's FAILED TREATMENT don't fuck around when it comes to the gross and depraved. Lots of that here. Guitars have a really great, truly grindy sound. Very riffy. Roaring, bellowed vocals. Love that in grind. And the DRUMS.

Here's Failed Treatment's 'Spread of Infection' LP from 2019. https://failedtreatment.bandcamp.com/album/spread-of-infection

Super fun one for this week's #MusicWomenWednesday. The 5.6.7.8s just put out this cool 'Best hits of' compilation. Gotta love these gals. Kinda 60s, kinda surfy, garagey, unhinged/cute vocals. You may recognize the song 'Woo Hoo' from Kill Bill, which is included here. Also, they have a song about Mothra. You can't go wrong with that.

Something weird and wild for #GrindayFriday. Another one I don't know how I missed last year, 'Born in Hell' by Tokyo's FINAL EXIT is some of the most unhinged, bizarre stuff you'll hear and I'm here for it. 40 tracks of wails, ditties, screams, surf rock mixed with grind- some truly funny-sounding things that will probably make you laugh (I did). 😂 Guess they've been around since 1994? Noisecore? A true trip.

It's probably impossible for a band to have a name like Swamps and then to have an album cover like this and for me NOT to like it. Some SERIOUSLY good trash rock from Japan to bang your body around to (also great for washing dishes to). SWAMPS, BABY.
