Bo Ningen
"They're fantastically energetic, often brain-crushingly heavy, and quite probably the most exciting young band in London right now. The foursomes feral punk/metal approach and hectic tempo changes nod to Jap freak-out combos such as Acid Mothers Temple, Melt-Banana, Boredoms and Boris." MOJO magazine
If someone in the 1960's had imagined ('qualted space: 1999' style) what rock and roll would sound and looks like in 2010, Bo Ningen is what they would have heard in their head.
In its obbession with repetition and the twisted patterns of its ungraspable musical narrative, it has all the appeal of listening to Amon duul and Can but at the same time.
Their debut EP 'Koroshitai Kimochi' was chosen as Top 100 Albums of 2009 by Sunday Times.
