Any fans out there of Okinawa band "Bleach" ?

I couldn't find any more good Japanese grunge after discovering the band "Already Yours". Surveying Youtube.
I made a wordpad note to myself at one time: "Bleach/Bleach03 is really, really good."

So searched for Bleach again, and are they ever good. Now disbanded.

They have a distinctive sound. Magnificent.

Anybody else listen to this music?

They had a song that I liked that I taped off John Peel and put on a Minidisc compilation that I made of awesome songs that I'd taped from late night Radio 1. I can't remember what it was though.

There's a bunch of similar-sounding Japanese bands, Miyako from Bleach's next group, San Hachi Go (385) are really great, maybe also check out Number Girl, Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs, Bloodthirsty Butchers, I'm sure I could think of more.

Thanks for response paolo!

Maresn3st, I'm a big fan of Mass of the Fermenting Dregs! Other two are fun to listen to...Bloodthirsty Butchers is completely new to me and a great tip to investigate; thank you.
