The Comes

The Comes' No Side is definitely a necessary listen for folks interested in Japanese punk.  The singer, Chitose, is a badass woman-in-charge on this record.  Her shouty, gravelly vocals bounce all over and add urgency to the tight and rockin punk songs the band kicks out..the riffs are really good and classic in their own right, they kind of give me an early 80's California type feeling.  No Side is from 1983 and there's really no reason you aren't listening to this right now.  It's that awesome.  It was repressed at one point as a split with THIS RECORD on the other side.  I always thought that was cool.  People from this band were also in Lip Cream, who you should also check out.

COME!

Look at how awesome the cover art is.
