This is the first non-European bands sampler. It is almost the same sampler that was posted by Professor Gommel/The Blathering Gommel at the Shite'n'Onions message board. Therefore, I thank him for this. I would also like to thank Will from the Australian band The Rumjacks, for having started the discussion thread "The (various) heavyweights of Japanese Paddy Punk" at the same messageboard. Finally, if you are looking for more information about the japanese scene, please visit www.shitenonions.com and click on the right on Featured Band to read the following article by The Blathering Gommel: "Paddy Punk in Japanese Rustic Stomp Scene"

All the people that read the pogues fora and Shite'n'Onions message board will be familiar with the first band: The Cherry Coke$

  2. Hey! Thanks for the shout out on the write up!

    Great stuff, all of these bands!

    And I might mention "Junior" in there, too! Their 2nd release, "Rights!" is feckin' awesome! Their myspace is in Japanese, but you can still hear some of their stuff on it, (http://www.myspace.com/jprjunior) and releases are available from Badaddiction.com, but have a translator on hand to order!

    Catcha Later, WL,

    Chris, (A.K.A. The Blathering Gommel!)
